From the Editor: Central Maine’s growth is diversified
Our focus on central Maine delves into two areas that demonstrate growth in a number of facets.
Residential growth, new retail, manufacturing expansion and business park additions highlight just some of the progress.
In our cover story, Senior Writer Renee Cordes looks at Augusta’s residential growth. The city’s economic development director estimates that the value of residential development underway would total $100 million. That includes up to $25 million from a 260-apartment complex planned by a Massachusetts developer. See Renee’s cover story, “Augusta ‘on the cusp,’” which starts on Page 12.
Showing the economic diversity of central Maine, Senior Writer Laurie Schreiber looks at the growth of the 95/295 Business Park in Gardiner. While it took some time to get rolling, it is now hitting critical mass, with tenants signing on from a wide region of the Northeast. See Laurie’s story on Page 18.
Don’t miss our Q&A with Mara Moorhead, the new CEO of Girls Scouts of Maine. She may be leading a nonprofit, but she’s an entrepreneur at heart. Renee Cordes interviews her. See Page 24.
The Maine Savings Amphitheater tops our list of Maine entertainment and sporting venues, which are ranked by venue capacity. See Page 26.
