WATERVILLE — The former Bob-In restaurant and lounge was demolished Thursday at 17 Temple St. The demolition of the building and other adjacent buildings along Front Street will make way for the construction of housing.
Plans are underway to build a 33,800-square-foot, four-story building facing Temple Street, with approximately 15,000 square feet of office space on the first and second floors, and 18 apartments on upper floors, funded partially by MaineHousing. They would be regulated under a program that limits occupancy to residents with household incomes at or less than 80% of the Kennebec County median income.
The cost to rent workforce housing depends on income. A one-bedroom unit at the site would rent for about $1,285 a month and a two-bedroom unit about $1,445.
