The City of Portland has announced that both planning board meetings will go forward today as planned.  There was uncertainty until moments ago because city manager Jon Jennings closed city hall and other city buildings due to weather conditions in Portland today.

That means that the afternoon workshop on the city’s request to ;permit the construction of a 75 ft. cold storage warehouse on the western waterfront and tonight’s meeting to consider the planning department’s protection ordinance for Fort Sumner Park will go forward as planned.
