Joslin expects that his company would help build the 25-room, 27,000-square-foot facility with local help. Joslin has discussed his plans several times with Polstein, Marcia McKeague, president of Katahdin Timberland LLC Pat McGowan, commissioner of the Maine Department of Conservation and several LURC officials, Corcoran said. His company built a large veterinary emergency hospital in Brentwood, N.H., and a 50,000-square-foot warehouse facility in Exeter, N.H. of Boston, InStock Flooring of Salem, N.H., and rehabilitated a large-scale dry-cleaning facility for We Care Cleaners in Kittery. Joslin said he rehabilitated, owned and sold more than 100 apartment units in Portland during the 1990s and within the last 10 years his company built more than $15 million in commercial construction for companies such as North Dam Mill of Biddeford, the Haughey Co. LLC of Portsmouth, N.H., Joslin described his interest in the idea as less medical than financial, as he is meeting with Boston-area hospitals and care facilities to find a manager who could operate Green House.Ī developer and contractor with 23 years’ experience, Joslin has built or owned several apartment buildings and been involved in many commercial developments in southern Maine and New Hampshire, Corcoran said. The owner of West Branch Construction Co.
Joslin said he had no formal background or experience with recovery facilities such as he proposes.
It has the opportunity to help people and employ people,” Conlogue said Friday. Millinocket Town Manager Eugene Conlogue said he knew little of Joslin’s plans, having seen them only as part of a press release Corcoran circulated Thursday, but thought them promising for the Katahdin region. Marie Vienneau, the hospital’s chief executive officer, did not return a telephone call seeking comment Friday. That’s why he will meet with Michaud, an ardent supporter of veterans services. The other track involves working with state and federal agencies to serve the dire needs created by the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, Joslin said. One track he is pursuing would make the center a place where celebrities and other well-heeled clients could get back on their feet, said Dan Corcoran, owner of North Woods Real Estate, the Millinocket firm that started working with Joslin about three months ago to find land suitable for the concept. “I don’t love the idea of helping a rich rock star as much as helping a banged-up serviceman recover from his injuries.” “I like the idea of helping people,” Joslin, 46, said Friday. If all goes well, construction will begin by year’s end.Īmong the unanswered questions, Joslin said, is which clientele the Green House Lodge will serve. Joslin hopes to have permits within six to eight months for use of the land, 10 acres adjacent to the site of Millinocket businessman Matthew Polstein’s proposed $65 million ecotourist Ktaadn Resorts.
