Regional School Unit 9 board of directors voted to approve an additional gift of $240,000 from the Bjorn Foundation to allow them to move forward with the CTE center at Mt. Blue Middle School.
Many have taken to a local Facebook community page either to express their excitement or condemn those who choose large franchise chains over locally owned restaurants.

FARMINGTON Voters will elect a selectman and two school directors Monday at polling stations in the Community Center on Middle Street. Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Incumbent Matthew Smith is running unopposed for selectman.
Incumbent J. Wayne Kinney is seeking a two- year term on the Regional School Unit 9 board of directors.
Gloria McGraw, who raised her family in Farmington, and Brandon Reed, a University of Maine Farmington student, are seeking the three-year term held by school board member Dennis O’Neil.
McGraw and Reed responded to questions sent recently by email.
An educator/administrator for more than 20 years in the district, McGraw wrote she has always been proud of that service, proud of the district and pleased with the offerings for students. She indicated she is seeking the position because she has time to devote to the board.
