MADAWASKA, Maine — An auction for the town of Madawaska’s former land port of entry building that began in August has been indefinitely suspended as a result of the government shutdown. All links on the federal government’s auction website navigate to a page stating that the site is currently unavailable. The old port of entry building, located at 63 Bridge Avenue, was roughly 65 years old. The old building is roughly 5,800 square feet and has a first floor and a basement. And while the auction was suspended, activities at the border crossings are deemed essential and will continue amid the government shutdown.
