In the latest effort to address workforce housing shortages, Acadia National Park officials announced the construction of 28 beds at Harden Farms in Bar Harbor.
The location was identified as a potential site for workforce housing back in 1959, and currently has eight bedrooms.
The National Park Service has awarded the nearly $10 million construction contract to King Construction out of Machias.
A second phase of construction is also in the works, which could build an additional 28 beds on site.
