flag Bangor’s $182,400 preapproved housing plans remain unused a year later due to low awareness, while landlords criticize the city’s rental registry program for bureaucracy and rising costs.

flag Bangor has not seen any construction using its $182,400 in preapproved housing plans a year after their release, despite a growing housing shortage. flag Though some developers accessed the multi-unit designs, no permits have been filed, city officials say, citing low awareness and the need to promote the program to reduce costs and review times. flag Meanwhile, landlords at a public forum criticized the city’s two-year pilot Rental Registry and Quality Housing Provider program, citing excessive paperwork, frequent policy changes, rising costs, and time burdens, with some blaming added bureaucracy for making property management harder. flag Officials encouraged landlord involvement in city council meetings to shape future policy.
