Located on Route 7, Maine’s traditional Moosehead Trail, thousands of travelers have watched the transformation of the community. Changes began to unfold with the demolition of the mill and the removal of the original Main Street business center. The highlight this year offers visitors a long-awaited straightening of Route 7 through town and over a new bridge on the Sebasticook River. In view of the new roadway bridge is a snowmobile bridge for recreational vehicles using the abandoned railroad bed traveling north and south. Corinna planners have high hopes for the redevelopment of their village center as a welcoming greenspace for residents and travelers to enjoy the renewed view of the river and the lake. Committees are working on redevelopment plans for the community to include retail outlets to service travelers and residents alike. Corundel Lake is recognized as one of the most important stopping points for waterfowl migrating north and south on the Northeast flyway. April through November the lake and surrounding marshes are alive with a variety of waterfowl including ducks and Canada geese. Plans call for a small craft boat launch to allow better access to the wetlands as a continuation of the planned parklands and walkways in the center of town. Only minutes from the Interstate 95 interchange at Newport, Corinna hopes to become a recreational destination for travelers and a retreat for resident commuters to nearby Bangor, Waterville or Augusta. The current activity and anticipation of a new village has brought new vitality to the town’s sense of community. Corinna residents are fond of saying “Corinna is a great place to grow up or grow old.” The renewed spirit has only enhanced that opinion.

Corinna
is a great place to grow up or grow old. Corinna's secret is that here
most grow young. Perhaps it's the water or clean air, but we
really think that it's the life style.
