City of Caribou, Maine

The City of Caribou is currently accepting public comments on the Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives (ABCA) for the abatement and demolition of the former Caribou Power Steam Plant located at 142 Lower Lyndon Street.

This document outlines the proposed cleanup and demolition approach for the site — an important step as the City continues planning for the future redevelopment of the riverfront area.

🗓 Public comments will be accepted through April 3, 2026.

Residents are encouraged to review the ABCA and submit comments in writing to Penny Thompson via email.

The full document and public notice are available on our website:

The City is developing a Riverfront Revitalization Masterplan and we’re inviting residents to share their ideas for how the riverfront could be used, enjoyed, and developed—especially around Water Street near the Train Station and the Power Plant site at the dam.

Your feedback will help shape what this area could become for generations to come. The survey is completely anonymous, but if you leave your contact information at the end, you can be entered to win a gift certificate!
