Waterfront Concerts tears down fence it started without a permit

Waterfront Concerts, the company that puts on Bangor’s summertime waterfront music series, has torn down a wooden fence it had started building at the city’s concert venue without a permit.

The Bangor Daily News reported that the company, which is negotiating a new contract with the city, had never sought a permit for the 16-by-30-foot structure it was erecting at one of the Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion gate areas.  The company tore it down after code enforcement officials issued a stop work order on Friday, the newspaper reported.

Bangor City Council Chairman Joe Baldacci told the BDN that the city has a proposed contract for Waterfront Concerts to sign, adding that “the ball is in their court.”

The company is currently running the waterfront concert series under terms of the contract that expired last fall. As reported by the BDN in May, the company and the city had been negotiating the length of the new contract as well as issues related to the volume of music.
