Boston's Northeastern University on Monday unveiled plans to launch a professional graduate school and research institute in Portland, and said the school will help create a new "innovation hub" focused on technology and life sciences.
The venture is the brainchild of tech entrepreneur and Lewiston native David Roux and his wife, Barbara, who contributed a donation of $100 million from the Roux Family Foundation.
