"e area is also pretty attractive as far as access to the highway, busi- ness parks, and industrial parks, so it plays into the area that is already available and maybe has already been developed," says Emily Cole- Prescott, planning director for the city of Saco. Here is a look at the future of Route 1 in Saco. More housing Clover Leaf Development LLC is a 120-unit apartment complex under construction at 989 Portland Road and within the Portland Road District. e property abuts a cem- etery and Aquaboggan Water Park. e subject parcel has an overall area of 66 acres. e apartment complex will include 10 apartment buildings, each with 12 units. Of the 120 units, 108 will be studio or one- bedroom apartments. e remain- ing units will be two bedrooms. Terradyn Consultants LLC has been the engineer working on the project.
