Creating year-round housing opportunities that are affordable to the Boothbay Region workforce.
OUR MISSION
The Boothbay Regional Development Corporation (BRDC) was formed to help tackle the housing crisis in the Boothbay region through the development of newly constructed homes. Adding to the available and affordable housing stock in the Boothbay region is the initial focus of the organization.
BRDC has a long-term plan to make a significant contribution to the housing stock in the Boothbay region. The plan will provide more housing that is affordable to our workforce: to our teachers and healthcare workers, to our retail, hospitality, and shipyard workers, and to our municipal employees, among others.
Strengthen our economic future
The availability of workforce housing is integral to the economic strength of our region and necessary to ensure our community’s vibrant future.
The Boothbay Region is facing an increasing shortage of housing for young people and families who work in our community but can’t afford to live here. The year-round housing stock is shrinking, while the number of seasonal units grows. Our goal is to create year-round housing that is affordable to our workforce at a range of socio-economic levels, in a range of housing choices, both for-sale and for-rent.
Support our community
