  3. The town currently has a “mixed use” zone from the Rte 1 mall area to the York town line where little permitted growth has occurred in its 20 year existence. Should this zone be restructured to enable a designed growth pattern such as a mixed village cluster? To create a business/jobs growth incentive, would you support the town implementing a State program that allows the creation of Development Districts using tax increment financing (tax revenues from the District) to fund growth related public improvements while sheltering said increases from reductions of state revenue sharing & aid for education, and lessening the county tax? Should the town create Historic Preservation Districts including Kittery Foreside/Wallingford Square and Kittery Point Village and establish zoning requirements to preserve their current “New England” character? Possibilities
