Finishing touches on Westbrook Common are being coordinated this Spring for full activation in Summer 2023.

Westbrook Common was transformed from a city street to a pedestrian mall during 1970’s urban renewal efforts. Underground utilities were installed in the early 1900s to provide power, drainage, and water to the area businesses and residents. These vital utilities were replaced to transform this open space into a welcoming and aesthetically attractive gathering space for the community.

Westbrook Common was transformed from a city street to a pedestrian mall during 1970’s urban renewal efforts.

Underground utilities in the common area were installed in the early 1900s to provide power, drainage, and water to the area businesses + residents. These vital utilities must be replaced before the common area can be transformed into a welcoming + aesthetically attractive gathering space for the community. Additional parallel parking along Main Street added, along with a new 3-phase transformer to power area businesses + downtown lighting.

Northeast Credit Union will sponsor the first season of concerts in the park for Westbrook Common.
