By Staff The Grant Building in downtown Bath was a big part of the community for the better part of a century, and developer Sean Ireland is hoping to bring it back, with the community's help. Ireland, of Windward Development, is looking for input as he develops the 25,000-square-foot building, one of the final ones in the 18-building Sagadahock Real Estate Association downtown portfolio to be sold. Redevelopment of the building that began life as a department store and was most recently an indoor park will require a variety of partners, Ireland said. “This kind of project has a long runway," he said in a news release. "One of the challenges is how do you get a large project like this ‘off the ground’ — it takes a lot of due diligence and persistence and some creativity."
