Property Highlights

The Project Sites consist of a 1.86-acre parcel with a 3264 sq ft building known as the former Unity Grammar School. the building was constructed in 1898 and served as the only school for the small town of Unity. The building has asbestos, lead paint, lead in soil, and a small AST. Maine Farmland Trust purchased the building and plans to develop the property as a "food hub". The food hub will aggregate products from several local farms and sell the produce and products to retail customers and also act as a distribution hub for products, conduct light processing of food related items (e.g. washing). The site improvements consist of foundation structure re-stabilization, interior improvements, soil contamination cleanup/off-site disposal, removal of asbestos from windows and other building materials, and removal of lead paint. The project will also include construction of a driveway and parking area and will maintain historical architectural elements. The grand opening of the new food hub facility was held on October 1, 2015. Former Use: see anecdotal information section
