MEDIA ADVISORY: Acadia Gateway Center Construction in Trenton [ [link removed] ] 05/18/2023 11:01 AM EDT
TRENTON - On Monday, the Maine Department of Transportation will join with local, state, and federal partners from both the public and private sectors to celebrate the beginning of construction on the Acadia Gateway Center in Trenton.

This project represents the culmination of years of partnering and planning to create a welcome center and transit hub to service Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Once completed, the Acadia Gateway Center will serve as a location where visitors can access park information, purchase park entrance passes, and connect with transit options to help them explore the region car-free. This project will incorporate several sustainability features, including a geothermal heating and cooling system, a rooftop solar panel array, and electric vehicle charging stations.
