• See how much new housing is being built in your Maine town (bangordailynews.com) — Maine’s first comprehensive survey of housing construction shows the state slightly exceeding its 2025 building-permit goals, but with most new units being market-rate rather than income-restricted. Falmouth’s code enforcement officer Justin Brown explains how long it can take for permitted projects to become occupied homes, underscoring concerns about whether enough affordable housing is being built where workers most need it.
