Groundwork on what will be a new four-unit apartment building on King Avenue in Machias entered the next phase on June 28 with the pouring of the building’s foundation.

The project began on May 15 with work crews clearing trees and brush from the site, located behind King’s existing two-story, eight-unit apartment building at 10 King Ave. In the six weeks since work began, fill was brought in, the site leveled, and the foundation’s form set.
