Three years ago, Maine lawmakers passed a landmark bill designed to increase home construction and ease the state’s worsening housing crisis. Now, almost one year after implementation, some worry the law hasn’t lived up to its potential.
“I don’t think we’ve seen nearly that much uptake since LD 2003 passed,” said Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, D-Biddeford.
Fecteau hopes to change that with a bill to patch some of the holes and confusion created with the original legislation, which makes up to two accessory dwelling units legal on all single-family lots statewide.
