For those hunting for a place to live in Machias, some relief is on the horizon. King Construction Services has broken ground on an eight-unit apartment building located at 63 Court Street. 

Justin King, CEO of King Construction, said he hopes to have the Court Street property completed later this year, and that it is only the first of many apartments his company plans to build.

“We have plans to develop between 50 and 100 apartments in the area over the next five years,” said King.
