About

Biddeford with a population of 22,000 persons is Maine's 6th largest City. Located along the I-95 corridor, the City is conveniently situated some 15 miles south of Portland and 90 miles north of Boston. Once a textile center of world prominence, Biddeford's economy today is a diverse mix of manufacturing, technology, and serviced-based companies and institutions many of whom conduct business in the City's business and industrial parks. Anchoring the City's economic base are two of Maine's truly dynamic institutions: the award-winning Southern Maine Medical Center and the University of New England - both of whom are experiencing impressive growth. In terms of natural features, Biddeford's 30 square miles of land area is as astoundingly beautiful as it is richly diverse! The downtown area is urban in its density and fabric with numerous historic commercial buildings, churches, textile mills, and homes.
