• Pair of condo developments proposed in Gorham (pressherald.com) — Two sizable condo projects in Gorham could soon add 52 new housing units, including a 22-unit complex on South Street aimed at more affordable options. Neighbors have raised concerns about density, setbacks, and traffic, prompting the Planning Board to delay preliminary approval and schedule a site walk, while a separate 30-unit, 55-plus project on County Road faces technical and engineering questions. 
• Obituary: Phyllis Dorn Burnham (pressherald.com) — Many Gorham residents will remember Dr. Harold Burnham’s family, as this obituary honors his wife Phyllis, a nurse and longtime co-manager of Wind-in-Pines on Sebago Lake. She supported Hal’s Gorham family practice before serving as Raymond’s school nurse, and is remembered for her warmth, creativity, and decades of welcoming campers and families to the lake.
