Is it actually, or is this sarcasm?
Actually yes.

They even merit a Wikipedia page.


The "revival" of Lewiston is primarily in being a destination for Federal Funds.

Wikipedia (Bates Mill)

On January 5, 2011, The Lofts at Bates Mill was awarded $5.2 million in low-income housing tax credits by the Maine State Housing Authority to convert Building No. 2 into 48 mixed-income apartments.[4] The $9.2 million project includes 33 subsidized apartments and 15 market-rate apartments. Construction began 2011 and the apartments were completed late in 2012.[5]

Plain Jane

Just Plain Jane
No joke. Somehow half the dang country decided to go to Lewiston Maine about 10 years ago. Why in the world would people from the desert want to go to Maine?
As I recall they first arrived in Portland years ago. During the orientation visit they observed wanted posters for child molesters at the Post Office. Since that WOULD NOT DO FOR THEM, they were taken to Lewiston where there were no such disturbing things as wanted posters for child molesters.

I am not kidding.
