Show Notes
Lewiston City Council prepares for a significant vote on Tuesday, approving a new deal to sell the Colisée arena to Mill Town Sports and Entertainment for $4.9 million. The agreement replaces the previous city guarantee with a $250,000, zero-interest loan, reducing risk for Lewiston. The sale benefits locals by preserving youth, high school, and amateur hockey, along with parking for schools and the Tree Street project. Mill Town owner Nate Bostic, who moved his junior hockey team, the Boston Dukes, to Lewiston last July, successfully launched the Lewiston MAINEiacs, winning the division title and advancing in playoffs. The deal aims to secure year-round events without heavy taxpayer exposure, keeping the Colisée as a community hub since the legendary Ali-Liston bout in 1965.
