The round of funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston will go toward the creation or preservation of more than 450 units of affordable rental housing in Maine.
The bank donated 12 acres and over $500,000 to Avesta in 2023, to facilitate development of a 70-unit affordable housing community for ages 55 and older.
Kennebunk Savings hired William Saufley as executive vice president as well as chief risk officer — an encore presentation of sorts for Saufley, who held the latter role from 2008-12.
Banks across Maine are looking to right-size their footprints and tap new market opportunities, with changes that include expanding some facilities and consolidating others.
