- Description
- Housing Problems of Bangor Plague the City Officials: The serious nature of the housing problem in Bangor was recognized on April 1, 1952 when the city was declared a critical defense housing area. This designation was largely the result of the impact of Dow Air Force Base personnel on the housing situation. Even before this designation was received, construction of a housing development on the city farm property. In February, a proposal was received from a local contractor for the construction of prefabricated houses in that area. After looking at the plans for the houses in question, the City Council felt that a large development of these prefabricated homes would not be suitable for this property.
