Biddeford Mayoral Transition

This November the City of Biddeford will elect a new mayor after twelve years of Alan Casavant at the helm. A forum with the two candidates, Susan Deschambault and Marty Grohman, will be held at Biddeford High School on October 23rd (see below for more details).


Before his tenure is officially up, we want to express our profound appreciation for everything that Alan has done to make Biddeford such a special place to live, work, and enjoy. During his time in office, the city has transformed in so many exciting ways, with his consistently positive and passionate leadership, along with his successful partnering with so many others, to bring great progress to our area.
