SCARBOROUGH, Maine — There are early plans for Maine's first Costco to be built in Scarborough.
According to a Scarborough Planning Board agenda, the retailer is looking to build a 161,000 square-foot store at Payne Road and Scarborough Downs Road.
It is all part of establishing a so-called Innovation District at the Downs.
The proposal will go before the planning board on Monday evening.
The full agenda entry stated:
"Costco Wholesale is seeking sketch plan review to construct a 161,000 square-foot retail/wholesale building with an accessory gasoline filling station located at the intersection of Payne Road and Scarborough Downs Road.
