From Maine-Earlier this year, the Episcopal Diocese of Maine, at the direction of the dwindling congregation of St. Matthias Episcopal Church, offered to give the town its two buildings at 15 Spruce St. The two single-story buildings are the 1,340-square-foot church itself and 864-square-foot Roberts Hall. The property is assessed by the town at $207,900.
Canon for Finance and Stewardship Terry Reimer of the Episcopal Diocese of Maine said the congregation of the church no longer has enough membership and the remaining members decided to offer the building to the town, in hopes that it could continue to be used to serve the community.
Reimer said the diocese may require the property to be used for the public good and could seek to include a provision in the deed requiring it to be offered to the church if the town wants to sell the property in the future.
Town Manager Marian Anderson said no final decisions have been made about what the town would use the buildings for, if accepted.
But she said possibilities town officials have discussed include making it the home of the food pantry, currently run out of temporary quarters in the basement of the Dresden Richmond United Methodist Church, and moving the senior center, currently operating out of space on Front Street donated by Gary Nash, into the Roberts Hall building next to the church.

Temporary buildings are used by many different businesses in a range of industries. They are useful for providing cost effective solutions for storage space and many other things. However, if the land a building is being installed on isn't yours then you will need planning permission for the temporary building you will be installing.
