After eleven years of preparation, the Route 1
Revitalization effort has finally begun, changing the face and character of one of HoCo’s
more colorful corridors.
There’s much more to come too.
In this two mile section of Route 1 alone there are at least
twenty pink signs marking proposed changes for the comprehensive zoning process,
making it one the highest concentrations of zoning amendments in the county. In all,
there are over 40 proposed changes within the HoCo borders of the 2,377 mile highway
that begins at the Canadian border in Fort Kent and ends in Key West .
