A Waterville dental practice broke ground Friday for a new building at FirstPark in Oakland that will double the practice s space, more than a year after the deal was struck for the property.
The building at 93 FirstPark Drive, which is Lot 15 in the park, is the first new construction start in the 285-acre commerce and technology this year, after a record sales year in 2020.
Anna O Keefe is moving her dental practice from 325 Kennedy Memorial Drive in Waterville, and will double the size of her business with the 5,200-square-foot space.
The building, being constructed by Brunswick-based Ouellet Construction, will be designed to protect staff and patients from airborne viruses, and is expected to open in the fall.
