YORK, Maine After state officials loosened the eligibility criteria for COVID-19 vaccinations last week, York Hospital held its first vaccination clinic Saturday that included members of the public 70 or older.
York Hospital spokesperson Jean Kolak said the clinic went well, with nearly 300 people receiving vaccines. That included 135 health care providers and first responders under Phase 1a and 161 residents age 70 or older under Phase 1b, she said.
People are clearly eager to receive the vaccine, and the hospital looks forward to meeting the need, Kolak said.
York s new Mt. Agamenticus lease includes bathroom, parking upgrades
By Dan Bancroft
YORK, Maine Representatives from the town and York Water District gathered Monday at the summit of Mt. Agamenticus to ceremonially lock in the terms of a new lease agreement at the site.
The amendment extends the term of the present lease through 2050, and it provides for two 20-year renewal terms. The goal is to guarantee long-term public access to the town-owned land atop the mountain while protecting the water district’s interests regarding water quality.
In addition to the extension, the amendment allows for the widening of the access road, if needed, formalizes existing parking areas and provides for composting toilets and the bathroom buildings to house them to be built at the base and the summit.
