25 Years Ago: 1995

As construction crews are raising the first floor of Lewiston’s new adult living community, Montello Heights, Mitch Rousseau hopes to build the relationship between the city and the $12 million project. Rousseau, president of the project’s developers, Rousseau Enterprises of Brunswick, presented Lewiston officials Friday with a plaque thanking them for their role in bringing the project to Lewiston. Mayor John Jenkins, Councilor Normand Poulin and City Administrator Robert are among those accepting the plaque. Rousseau said he hopes to make Lewiston residents and those who want to live in Lewiston aware of the uniqueness of Montello Heights. It is new to New England,” Rousseau said. We’re trying to accomplish independent living for folks that don’t want to be in a nursing home.” Once the first phase of the project is complete, hopefully by spring of 1996, Rousseau said, results will be a safe affordable choice in living arrangements to satisfy their present and future needs. Fifty-three units, consisting of efficiency, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, will be available.
