No details of the project were presented Sept. 21 to the City Council, which voted to allow Waterfront to begin booking shows for the 2016 concert season, but a plan will be presented at a future meeting, according to the Portland Press Herald.
Waterfront Concerts hosted 27 shows at the Maine State Pier this summer and city staff told the council the company has worked hard to address any issues including noise as soon as they arise.
The Press Herald said the June 12 concert by Rusted Root and The Wailers generated the most complaints at 13. The Counting Crows concert Aug. 20 generated five complaints and Damian and Stephen Marley on Sept. 4 generated three complaints.
Other events besides concerts will also be booked at the pier if dates are available.
