Already on the hook for $221,880 on a failed loan it financed in 2021, Caribou-based Northern Maine Development Commission, at a June 25 auction, essentially bought back the 101 Court St. property with a winning bid of $400,000. 

However, NMDC was, in fact, the sole bidder on the property and now is in it for at least $621,880, between the loan balance and the winning bid. Known as the Clark Perry House, the home’s barn into the Bad Little Brewery, which operated from there until closing permanently in December 2022.
