East Calais Community Trust

Mission

The East Calais Community Trust (ECCT) is a non-profit organization created in 2019 by community members whose mission is to support local community development, sustainable economic growth, and historic preservation.

We are doing this by:

• Ensuring local ownership of the historic store building

• Facilitating a continued store presence in the community

• Creating a place for informal community gathering

• Maintaining affordable housing

• Encouraging others to renovate and repair historical buildings in keeping with the new status of East Calais as a Registered Historical District

East Calais General Store Building Renovation

Our first project was the renovation of the historic building which houses the General Store in East Calais Village. This project was funded by $2.7 million in donations and grants.
