Located
in the old Augusta City Hall building in downtown Augusta, the Inn is over 100
years old and listed as a historical landmark. After being vacant since 1998,
the building has been renovated into assisted-living apartments. Many of the interior
and exterior historical features have been preserved, making The Inn at City Hall
one of the most unique senior residential projects in Maine. This program offers
seniors an affordable opportunity to maintain their independence while receiving
the daily assistance they need.
This
program has been made possible through a number of partners including HINE-2 Corporation,
MaineGeneral Rehabilitation and Nursing Care, the City of Augusta and various
state agencies.
HINE-2 Corporation is an offshoot
of its parent organization, Housing Initiatives of New
England Corporation. Housing Initiatives is a non-profit organization that
owns senior housing communities throughout Maine and New Hampshire. Located next
door to The Inn is Kennebec
Plaza, an independent living facility for seniors also owned by Housing Initiatives
of New England Corporation. Maine
Governor Angus King addresses the gathered guests at the opening celebration of
The Inn at City Hall in October 2001. The Governor hailed the project as the model
of a non-profit, private business and government partnership.
