The owners of Rockland-based Maritime Energy fuel and heating oil company, based in Rockland, are developing a 64,000-square-foot sports center in Thomaston.
The advanced composites center will join two other specialized manufacturing facilities, creating a hub for advanced manufacturing, metal and composite fabrication and technology development.
The firm’s workboat division was selected to design and build three solar-powered ferries with electric outboards, funded through a $4.2 million federal grant.
Wood has been working in the program for decades, in addition to obtaining a bachelor’s degree and a continuing education certificate, as well as creating a music therapy program to help other inmates with behavioral or mental health problems.
The Maine Scallop Pot is designed to be used around the rhythms of lobstermen, enabling fishermen to cultivate scallops without disrupting established routines.
The developer chose to create condos because they could maximize the density of the 1.76-acre property. The project is Thomaston’s first condominium development.
Condos might get a bad rap, “but done right, they are one of the best ways to offer ownership opportunities and keep costs down,” said Maine Working Homes’s co-founder, Merritt Carey.
