ORONO The University of Maine has unveiled its transformative $110 million athletic facilities master plan, an initiative honoring Harold Alfond’s legacy of support for Maine education and athletics by providing modern facilities for all 17 varsity programs at Maine’s only Division I athletic program, and improving the overall UMaine student experience.
In October, the Harold Alfond Foundation announced an historic $500 million investment in Maine and its people. The University of Maine System is to receive $240 million over 10-12 years, including $90 million in support for UMaine’s $110 million Athletics Facilities Master Plan, according to a news release.

Some Massachusetts hospital leaders and physicians said they disagree with a plan by the administration of Gov. Charlie Baker to halt vaccine distribution to hospitals and primary care offices so they can place the focus on vaccination sites.
But the state’s top health official said hospitals were scheduling more vaccine appointments than the state’s supply of vaccine against COVID-19 could meet.
“We all need to understand that we have a limited supply,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders.
“The demand is great and the supply from the federal government is flat 108,000 doses a week,” she said. “We want to ensure that we have the supply to meet scheduled appointments.”
