BIDDEFORD – A proposal to build 46 units of affordable housing for older Mainers on Barra Road in Biddeford has started its journey through the city approval process.

The owner of the land, Indian Cliff Development Corp, is working with Avesta Housing, the largest nonprofit affordable housing provider in northern New England, on the project.

The proposed senior housing would sit on one 2.2 acre lot – just north of another project by Mike Eon, the partial owner and president of Indian Cliff Development Corp.
