Second RFP round concluded

Today the University announced that Waldo Community Action Partners (https://waldocap.org) will become the new owner of the Hutchinson Center, subject to contract and closing completion.

The members of the Belfast-based Future of the Hutchinson Center Steering Committee and partner organization Waterfall Arts congratulate Waldo Community Action Partners for receiving the Hutchinson Center award based on their strong bid. 

Our group has been working diligently for well over a year to retain the Hutchinson Center for our community. We had intended to operate the Center as the educational, cultural and civic hub of Belfast, Waldo County and the mid-coast Maine region, establishing a new center for  community engagement and resurrecting the Center’s role as a regional conference destination for businesses and organizations alike. We offer our thanks to the many citizens who have expressed their support for this effort.
