MaineHealth in Portland announced that it signed a letter of intent to en- ter into a long-term partnership with agilon health, a company that empow- ers physicians to transform communi- ty health.

Raye's Mustard Mill, the last re- maining stone-ground mustard mill in North America, plans a $2 million upgrade of its working museum at 83 Washington St. in Eastport. Each year, thousands of tourists visit the 115-year-old mill to see the production process. Now, with a gift of $25,000, First National Bank is helping jumpstart the museum's effort to construct a new building in Eastport. Construction of a new mu- seum will help ensure the mill is pre- served as a historical, cultural and educational asset. Raye's Mustard Mill was built in 1903 to supply mustard to the two dozen or so sardine canneries in Eastport and others along the coast of Maine. At an estimated cost of $2 million, the renovation and new construc- tion would upgrade the structure, enhance the museum and provide visitors with education on the history and process of traditional stone- ground mustard-making. Coastal Counties Workforce Inc., a Brunswick nonprofit that provides workforce development across six Maine counties, has received $800,000 to provide job training for laid-off workers. During 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic forced 17 employers in Maine's coastal region to lay off a total of more than 500 workers. CCWI will provide workforce training services to these work- ers in Cumberland, Knox, Lincoln, Sagadahoc, Waldo and York counties. The funding was announced by U.S. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Angus King, I-Maine. Five land ports of entry along the Maine border with Canada received more than $150 million from the U.S. General Services Administration and authorized through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to modernize in an effort to strengthen supply chains to stream- line commerce, create jobs and en- hance security and trade. Recipient locations were Coburn Gore, Calais- Ferry Point, Fort Fairfield, Limestone and Houlton.
