Heart of Biddeford

The Heart of Biddeford, in partnership with the City of Biddeford, the business community, property owners, and residents, fosters economic development and improves the downtown and quality of life within its boundaries by supporting existing businesses, attracting new businesses, promoting the downtown through events, and working to beautify the urban core.

We are a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with an active board of directors and over 300 volunteers who get involved in our four standing committees, the Adopt-a-Park program, and HOB events. We are staffed by an Executive Director, Assistant Director, a part-time Office Manager, and an Americorps Fellow. Heart of Biddeford works with the City’s various departments and the City Council, the Downtown Development Commission, City Theater, Engine, McArthur Public Library, Public Access TV, and all of the downtown businesses and nonprofits, as well as Biddeford’s wonderful community volunteers.
