MIDCOAST VILLAGER • November 24, 2025
Colby College’s new Center for Resilience and Economic Impact has purchased considerable property and buildings in the center of the village “to help revitalize the community’s historic waterfront and create a home” for its new center. The transaction includes the purchase of the Seaside Inn, The Barn, the Squid Ink building and the site of the beloved Port Clyde General Store, which was destroyed by the fire in September 2023. The acquisition of the historic waterfront properties was made possible by a generous donation to the College from longtime Port Clyde residents Dan and Sheryl Tishman. The sale price for the properties totaled $3,325,000.
