May 18--EASTPORT -- The Maine Senate on Thursday approved the transfer of the Maine Community College System's Marine Technology Center -- known locally as the Boat School -- to the city of Eastport.

Husson College of Bangor plans to begin running the boat-building program at the Eastport school later this year.

Sen. Kevin Raye, R-Perry, called the Senate's action "good news" for the Boat School. "I believe it has one more vote in the House and then on to the governor," he said of the bill.

The state expects to transfer ownership of the property from the Washington County Community College in Calais to Eastport on July 1.
