MEXICO – People will have a chance April 22 to ask questions and learn about the town’s proposed revised comprehensive plan.

Code Enforcement Officer David Errington said the eight-member Planning Board, with the assistance of Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments’ John Maloney, has been working on the revision for about four years.

Voters will act on the 10-page document at the June 9 referendum town meeting election.

The goal of the revised plan is the same as the 1996 adopted version: To undertake activities and set policy that will encourage business growth, Errington said.

The 1996 version aimed to make major upgrades in the downtown infrastructure and to improve Main Street, most of which was accomplished, including the installation of new water and sewer lines and a downtown facade project.

Errington said one project that wasn’t accomplished is the extension of water and sewer for a three-mile section of Route 17. That is included in the revised plan.

The document also lists proposed building and capital improvement projects such as replacement dates for highway equipment, sewer upgrades for Spring and Whitman streets, and reconstruction of Oxford Street, Mexico Avenue and a portion of Backkingdom Road.

“It all depends on money,” Errington said.

Also built into the plan is possible relocation of the town office to the recreation building, construction of an addition onto the town garage, establishing a boat launch to the Androscoggin River from the rear of the town office, and completing the bicycle/pedestrian trail.

Zoning amendments include proposed changes for portions of Thad White and Poplar Hill roads from resource protection to limited residential.

Not included are guidelines for wind farm proposals.

“No one has approached us. We do have a couple of pretty good places,” Errington said.

More revisions to the plan could come next year. Wind farms may be included then, he said.
