WESTBROOK, Maine — A new development in Westbrook is looking to put a dent in the city’s housing needs as the housing crisis in the state deepens. A study estimates the state needs to come up with nearly 80,000 homes by 2030.

New Ventures LLC and Avesta Housing are partnering to build a 186-unit mixed-income housing community near downtown Westbrook, offering workforce, 55-plus, and market-rate homes for rent.
