NORWAY – Two downtown properties that were the scenes of raids by federal and state agencies are now up for sale.

Buildings at 172 and 180 Main St. were placed on the market Monday, according to information from the Village Square Realty Co. that is selling the properties for New Horizon Capital Investment LLC, which is owned by Dawn Cummings Solomon.

The house at 180 Main St. has been listed for $259,000 and the house at 172 Main St. has been put on the market for $269,000.

The buildings housed the New Horizon Capital Investment LLC office and offices for Opal Consulting, and Mystic Tours and Travel, and several other businesses that were operated under Dawn Solomon’s name.

Last month, agents from the Office of the Maine Attorney General, Maine State Police and the Oxford County Sheriff’s Office, plus agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Office of the U.S. Inspector General, Health and Human Services division executed a search warrant on the two properties.

The Healthcare crimes unit also was involved in the raid, said Michael Miller, director of the Attorney General’s Healthcare Crimes Unit. The unit investigates allegations of Maine Care fraud, abuse or neglect and exploitation in any facility that provides health care and accepts federal funds.

Kate Simmons, spokeswoman for the Maine Attorney General’s office, confirmed at the time that the raid was part of an ongoing investigation for one or more of the businesses housed in the buildings, which also include the Living Independence Network Corp. and the Western Maine Enrichment Foundation, a nonprofit organization that promotes cultural and ethnic awareness.

Dawn and Harvey Solomon became well known in the community in the past few years, in large part for their purchase and subsequent partial renovation of the Odd Fellows Building in downtown Norway. That building was placed on the market in May as well as the Solomons’ home on Pikes Hill Road.

The Solomons also own a home worth nearly $1 million on Zakelo Road in Harrison on Long lake, along with other properties in Norway and two in Paris on Gothic Street and Skillings Avenue.

The Harrison home is assessed at $272,300 and the land at $696,900. The current $10,0000 in taxes is paid on full, Town Clerk Judith Colburn said.
