AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) City and state officials are working with MaineGeneral Health to iron out the details of potentially using Augusta Civic Center as a mass vaccination site.

The civic center is typically used to host high-attendance events such as agricultural trade shows. More recently, it was used to swear state lawmakers into office.

The main portion of the building has more than 30,000 square feet, making it an easier place to accommodate social distancing requirements than most venues in central Maine.
