Hannaford Supermarkets and the University of Maine System (UMS) today announced a new partnership that will offer significant savings to associates of the grocery retailer who wish to pursue postsecondary education and training through Maine’s public universities, including the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI).
Following an official request for proposals process this spring, the University of Maine at Presque Isle has selected Community Living Association (CLA) as the buyer for its Houlton Higher Education Center building at 18 Military St. in Houlton.

The purchase will allow UMPI to maintain a higher education presence in the building while simultaneously decreasing its property footprint.
