Community Center

After 70 years of memorable events, dances and activities, Presque Isle's William V. Haskell Community Center was torn down Thursday and Friday.

An anonymous donation of $1.5 million to the Presque Isle Community Center project has propelled the fundraising effort to its original goal, and now organizers say they would like to raise up to $300,000 more to put the finishing touches on the project.

MMG Insurance in Presque Isle has donated $100,000 to help launch fundraising efforts for the Presque Isle Community Center Project.

Members of the Presque Isle Community Center Project Campaign Committee met at the William Haskell Recreation Center for a press conference to emphasize to members of the media the importance of the project.

A year after the general public approved pursuing a new multimillion dollar Presque Isle Community Center, more than 50 Aroostook County civic, business and municipal leaders gathered at the University of Maine at Presque Isle's Campus Center for an informational breakfast.
