Proposal to redevelop state pier up for vote

PORTLAND – The Portland City Council will give a final vote Monday on a plan for a private company to redevelop the Maine State Pier.

If it gets the green light, The Olympia Cos. of Portland will break ground in 2011 on a project featuring retail shops, a park, a hotel and offices.

But Olympia will not be required to build what is known as a megaberth.
