Heart of Biddeford

As a lifelong resident of Biddeford, I am passionate about the renaissance of our mill district and the town at large. Heart of Biddeford has driven much of this revitalization through its support of business and community. I have both volunteered my time for the non-profit and written paid content for their site. This includes Biddeford for Adventurers, Biddeford for Shoppers, Biddeford for Families, and Biddeford for Lovers.
