BANGOR DAILY NEWS • February 16, 2026

The owner of a Katahdin-region outdoor center is hoping to expand the site’s complex to include nearly 100 units of housing, 10 commercial spaces and a resort in the coming years. The development would be added to existing cabins and event spaces owned by the New England Outdoor Center, located roughly 10 miles north of Millinocket, in the Hammond Ridge area. Matt Polstein, the owner of New England Outdoor Center, is holding the project’s exact details close to his chest, but said more information will be shared at a public hearing on March 4.
