$12M, 5-story hotel eyed for Bar Harbor
A major hotel and resort property company has submitted an application to planning officials to build a $12 million hotel overlooking the harbor on West Street.

He acknowledged that although now does not seem to be a prime time to pursue a $12 million project, Ocean Properties has always done well in Bar Harbor and, based upon bookings for the coming season, expects to continue doing well.
Free Press associate editor and business editor Steve Pona has won the North American Travel Journalists Association's grand prize for his travel section story...prize options included a vacation at a Mexican resort, a cruise off the coast of Maine, or a stay at a Florida vacation home.
