Wit=
Several years ago, it was determined that the Central
Business District of Banger "tlowntown"needed a well -
focused program to effect its r vitalizationand address its
o
special needs. For this reason, the Bangor Center Management
Corporationn
s farmed and ea agenda developed which would
concentrate on the center of the city, the problems of the
area and how best to regain its strength in relation to the
total city and to emphasize its role as a regional center.
As an advocate for downtown, the Bangor Center
Management Corporation has been working to represent the
interests of property owners,
business people and residents
of the a As the role of the center city has changed over
the years, so too have expectations. No longer is it
acceptable to allow the heart of a vital city to decline and
die. In its n role as the major focus of finance,
professional anew
governmental activities, it must be a
active and important part of the community. And in spite of
the shift to other locations of major retail activities, the
retail section of downtown remains strong and economically
fable. Department stores havebeen replaced with high
quality specialty stores which provide an interesting
diversity to the shopping experience. All of these elements
must continue to grow.
Bangorls fortunate to have a downtown with a
economically s and base with a good Potential for further
growth, a attractive location whose attributes can be
further enhanced. Its role as
aregional center provides it
with the strength upon which to build and its geographic
amenities lend opportunities for exciting development.
An important indicator of the strength of the downtown
s the amount of major c nstruction which is being undertaken
n the a The first phase of the Maliseet project i
completewith several tenants new to downtown. The second
phase is planned for the near future. Key Plaza has been a
major addition to the downtown. Parcel B-4 is under option
with a proposal currently under reand the Eaton, Peabody
proposal for a major new building onExchangeStreet has been
submitted.
The completed Mitchell and Stearns building is
a major
e
ample of rehabilitation and n construction. Thebuilding
at 36 Central Street is a prime
x
example of total
rehabilitation and houses anotherretail establishment new to
downtown. In short, extensive new construction and
page 11
rehabilitation in the area attest not only to the economic
s
stability of the area, but to the commitment of businessand
profes nal peoplewho have an impressive history in the
community.
As is the case of many older urban core
areas, Bangor
n
has had to face a outmoded infrastructure with all of the
attendant traffic and parking problems. However, the city
has indicated a willingness to address and solve those
problems, committing to the construction and subsidy of a
garage for the area.
One of the most critical ingredients of any downtown
revitalization program theinterest of its a In the
r
past year interest nteresthas made itself evident by the
growing involvement inthe program by a wide diversity of
individuals and groups. As the program continuesto grow, we
expect to see
an
m
n greater participation by the community
as a whole and a even broader cope of projects. We feel
that the value of adowntown management program is being
cognized as vital to the health of downtown and that the
health of downtown is vital to the vigor of the total
community. -
In order to minimize
e the dependence of the program o
tax dollars and to i worktoward its long-term position as a
major playerin the downtown r vitilization, rseeking
ways i which the program may become increasingly self-
supporting.

BANGOR CENTER MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
GOALS S OBJECTIVES
IMPROVE DOWNTOWN BANGOR
A. Design
1. During the past year, the development of as
overall master plan for the downtown area
s begun and will
becompleted in this program year. With the construction of
the new parking garage, it is important to review patterns of
circulation, open spaces. linkages, areas forpublic
gatherings, and location for in -fill construction and
opportunities for rehahilitation of existing structures.
Although it was determined that the proposal for a atrium
and elevators behind the stores on the east side of Main
Street was probably not a feasible project at this time,
there are
ral other options to be explored which would
provides
to upper stories.l
It alsoImportant to
develop ways In which shopping can be made more pleasant in
inclement weather, possibly with covered sidewalks or
internal access from store to store.
2. Develop design studies for several of the
facades in the downtown area,
indicating ways i which they
Can not only be brought up to codea more omplimentary
way with adjoining buildings but can be aesthetically
improved. It is important to approach a program of improved
visual impact from a total streetscape with signage,
landscaping, and an overall design program.
3. The public signage in downtown isconfusing and
cluttered, lacking any uniformity of design. While there are
state and local regulations regarding certain signs, a design
effort, working within this framework, could do much to
locate signs so they could be clearly understood and provide
more adeguate direction. In addition, a logo for downtown
should be developed which can be used throughout the city and
n highway approaches, which directs the visitor or traveler
to the downtown area. Because of the traffic patterns
leading off of I-395 and over the Veteran's Rememberance
Bridge, many tourists a e that they a
re nage, re near
downtown. Appropriate signage, wn.M1 a a logo, could bring
increased business to atheti downtown. In ring addition, many
individual retail operations a considering n signs for
their businesses and many e e giving given
in totheu of
awnings. Design assistancewillbe given in these areas.
4. A preliminary design has been proposed far the
area adjacent to the parking garage which will be landscaped
page 13
and paved and can be used for a public gathering place. This
design will be refined in order to accommodate access
regu ents for the garage It 1s important that an
attractive space be developed where downtown workers can
congregate at lunch time and where outdoor concerts and other
events can be staged and as a focal point for community
activities.
5. Landscaping in the downtown iacolorful and well
maintained in the w months and could he augmented to make
the downtown a showplace. Currently. BCMC is working on a
plan to upgrade Norumbega Park. This effort is being done
in conjunction with the City Forester and the Parks
Department.
6. The vacant parcel at Central Street will Soon
bei ilable through eminent domain. This parcel could
be utilized for an in -fill building which will provide a
uniform facade for the street and resolve an unsightly
condition. Such anew
structure, when developed in
conjunction with theexisting structures, could even provide
an a
opportunity for s to the upper storiesof adjacent
buildings The Bangor Center Management Corporation sees
this a opportunity to sponsorarchitectural
ompetition for the design of thisbuilding, which will
respond to the request of several
al local designers looking for
ways to become involved in thedowntown.
B. Technical Assistance Program
1. The program of technical assistance, begun i
the Previous program year, will be continued on
a on-going
basis to meet the needs of the downtown business person. As
n the past, this shall include input from whatever sources
e
appropriate and can he made available, antl will consist
of seminars, workshops, and individual counseling.
2. A r enter has been developed which
contains Publicationsanretailing, financing, ordinances and
other information which pertains to downtown revitalization.
All of this Information i s
available for use by downtown
istlnets and business persons, but use of the material has
not boon up to expectations. BCMC will develop a program for
circulation of this material so that is utilized by a greater
number of persons.
C. Promotion
1. Develop a program of downtown promotion which
will bring more business to the area, through radio,
television and print advertising.
page 14
2. continue to distribute the Downtown Brochure
throughout New England and Canada a well as through local
businesses, the Chamber of Commerce, motel5/M1otels and
restaurants.
3. Continue to encourage joint promotional
activities by the stores and assist n the promotion of
rnified and extended store hours, emphasizing important
etail seasons.
D. Communication

the downtown. This shalls nclude the Downtown River City
Association, Bangor CenterDevelopment Corporation, Bangor

July Corporation and the City of Bangor.
2. Continue to build a working relationship with
all downtown business per and o well sons owners as w as

Preservation Commission and Code Enforcement.
page 16
111. MARKETING AND PROMOTION

which will limit the first floor use
of buildings within
certain areas of downtown to retail and retail -related uses.

the City to develop appropriate central loading x which
can serve several businesses and eliminate the traffic
congestion caused by double parking on major downtown
streets.
C. Develop a signing system with an identifying logo
which will indicate routes to downtown and further identify
parking.
page 18
V. SPECIAL PROJECTS
R. The Opera House
In an on-going guest to assist in keeping the
Opera House operational, the BCMC is developing a proposal
which will contain an option for its further u and a cost
estimate for the work which must be done, ostler to bring
it up to the standards set forth by the Bangor Symphony for
its return to that facility. There r considerable
wiunt of research to be completed for m this report, but it
ll he available within the next two months, or by June 1,
1989. To what Use this report will be put, remains to be
but it will at least establish some conclusion and make
some recommendations.
S. Parking Gee
Because the cost of parking in the parking garage
will be prohibitive for part-time employees, it has been
suggested that a shared -space concept might be workable. We
will pursue this concept and seek to develop a program which
ill match up part-time persons and their parking needs. We
will also work to promote the full use of the garage.
C. Shared Pari -Time Employees
Many stores have the need for a part-time employee
on certain occasions or for short periods of time, but are
unable to afford the cost of permanent part-time ales help.
It has been suggested that we develop an employee -sharing
program similar in concept to job -sharing. We will explore
the feasibility of such a system and put it into operation if
there is sufficient interest.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
In its first full year of operation, the Bangor Center
Management Corporation met almost all of its previously
stated goals and, in addition, brought several other projects
and r into the program. Many of the events which w
r
sponsored were highly successful and should be considered to
be the first year of an annual event.
Many of the specific projects, such as the building
survey,are
continue
on-going by nature, and will into the
up -coming year. Seminar and workshops to assist the downtown
business person will continue and will include such subjects
s facade treatments, window decorating, effective
merchandising and store layout.
Marketing the downtown and enlisting new businesses will
be an on-going activity for the year.
Events as an important element in promoting the spirit
that "DowntownBangor's Alive" and many are planned%for the
year. With this past year's experience behind use feel
optimistic about undertaking s m
major programs which will
attract regional participation such as Opening Night "9011.
which promises to be a regional celebration. Other
promotional activities will include the continued
distribution of the Downtown Photographic Brochure and
Oevelaeer's.Kit.
Because of the need to minimize the cost of the program
to both the city and the Development District, we are
striving to make many events and projects self-supporting,
and to generate income for the program. We will charge a
minimum
admission fee for certain events and sell advertising
for the Bugle. The leasing of a desk -top publishing system
Will enable us to compose the Bugle in-house and also allow
s to do a great deal of the printing ourselves which we now
find necessary to have done by other sources.
Tabulation of the results of the customer and merchant's
surveys will bring opportunities to reinforce the beneficial
elements of downtown
s seen by the per who work and shop
there and will providethe critique to respond to changes
which are needed. Technical assistance will be available to
help with any problems which retailers and property owners
wish to address.
Public signage in downtown will be improved with logo-
type signs directing travelers to downtown and appropriate
parking signs solving their problems when they get there.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kenneth Gibb, Director of Community and Economic Development
Robert B. Hiller, City Solicitor
.Russell J. McKenna, City Clerk
FROM: Rod McKay, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Bangor Center Development District
DATE: June 15, 1989
Four City Council Orders required to continue funding of the Bangor
Center ManagementCorporationwere introduced at the June 12, 1989 City
Council meeting and were continued to the regularly scheduled meeting
on June 26, 1989 when the City Council will hold two public hearings on
the issue.
The purpose of the first public hearing is to consider adoption of the
proposed Development Program ( the means and objectives, including the
proposed budget, to be implemented within the Bangor Center Development
District). Notice of this hearing was advertised in the BUN on June
15th (copy attached).
The second public hearing will be to consider implementation
assessments. To comply with extensive statutory notice requirements, a
public notice was published in the BUN on June 15th (copy at 1/3rd size
attached) which included a list of all affected properties, estimated
assessments for each, and a maximum rate of assessment.
The City Council agenda sequence for these four orders should be as
follows: - -
HEARING - Public Hearing on the Municipal
Development Program and Budget for the Bangor
Center Development District.
89-258 ORDER - Adopting Municipal Development Program and Budget
for the Bangor Center Development District-
.
HEARING - Public Hearing on Establishment of
Implementation Assessments for the Bangor Center
Development District
89-259 ORDER - Danger Center Development District -
Establishment of Implementation Assessments
89-260 ORDER - Establishing the Amount of Overlay and the Tax
Rate for the 1990 Fiscal Year for the Bangor
Center Development District
89-261 ORDER - Authorizing Execution of Contract with Bangor
Center Management Corporation
The budget proposed by the Municipal Development District Advisory
Board and the Bangor Center Management Corporation is $166,241.77 of
which $52000 is proposed to be funded by the City and the balance of
$114,241.77 raised from special assessments on property owners within
the district. The $52,000 requested from the City is the same as funded
by the City last year and represents 31% of the total proposed budget.
The $52,000 funded last year represented 378 of last years total budget
of $140,000. Me proposed $166,242 budget represents an increaas of
$26,242 or 18.78 over last years budget of $140,000 and'a $ 46,242 or
38.5 % increase over the first year District budget of $ 120,000. The
first year budget was funded fifty percent by the City and fifty
percent by special assessments ($60,000 each)..
The special assessment rate needed to fund the $114,242 from special
assessments in the coming year is estimated to be $1.28 per $1,000 of
assessed value. This is based on an assumption that property. values in
the district have appreciated and will increaseby a factor of. 10%.
The actual adjustment had not been made by the Assessing Department at
the time of this Memorandum and may vary from the 10% assumed. An
overlay rate of $0.02 (2 cents) per $1000 of assessed valuation was
added to the $1.28 resulting in a proposed special assessment tax rate
of $1.30, which after consultation with Carol Tabella, was the amount
advertised in the public hearing notice as the 'maximum rate^ of
assessment for the period commencing on July 1, 1989 and ending on
June 30, 1990. This rate of $1.30 is 308 higher than last years rate of
$1.00 per thousand dollars of assessed value and 39.8% higher than the
first year rate of $0.93. Me City Council should not exceed the $1.30
published in the public hearing notice a "Maximum Rate of -Assessments
to be Extended in Any One Year" without seeking the City Solicitor's
advice about the possible need for advertising a new maximum rate.
Me amount to be assessed to properties in the District will have to be
inserted in Council order 89-259 after decided on by the City Council.
The special tax rate and overlay rate will be based an the amount to be
assessed and will have to be inserted in Council Order 89-260. The
Finance Director should be consulted for the rates to be inserted.
