JAY — OTIS Federal Credit Union has donated $5,000 to the Western Maine Labor Council which purchased the Local 14 Union Hall at 6 Intervale Road.
This donation will go toward renovations and preservation of the building’s historical artwork.
The Western Maine Labor Council, formerly headquartered in Lewiston, is comprised of labor unions whose members work or reside within Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford counties.
Knowing OTIS Federal Credit Union’s ties to the paper industry, Building Committee member Barbara Arsenault reached out in pursuit of a partnership to renovate the hall that will be the council’s more centralized headquarters.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
