Maine state legislators tour CMCC, other L-A places

Jan. 202019

AUBURN — Central Maine Community College welcomed more than 70 state legislators to the campus on Jan. 9 as part of a bus tour that brought the legislators to the Lewiston-Auburn area.
In addition to CMCC, the group visited the downtowns, Bates Mill developments, the Good Shepherd Food Bank, and Baxter Brewing.

The Maine Development Foundation runs bus tours through its Policy Leaders Academy, a program that enables participants to learn more about the Maine economy and how public policy decisions affect growth and investment strategies of Maine businesses and organizations.
The legislators were served a buffet dinner in the gym and a virtual tour of the campus presented by CMCC President Scott Knapp. Speakers included State Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Allagash; Maine Development Foundation President Yellow Light Bree, and Maine Community College President Dave Daigler. Daigler, who was previously the chief financial officer for the MCCS, recently assumed the presidency, succeeding Derek Langhauser, who is now chief legal counsel to Gov. Janet Mills.
