During Visit to Innovative Saco Business, Governor Mills Urges Legislature to Pass Dirigo Business Incentive Program
Press Release
Issues: Economy and Fiscal
"If we want to keep Maine competitive with other states that are working aggressively to attract businesses, then we simply cannot be without a business incentive program. Maine will be at a significant disadvantage if the Legislature adjourns without replacing the expiring Pine Tree Development Zone Program. The Dirigo Business Incentive Program is exactly what Maine needs right now. It will spur direct investments to train more Maine people to tackle our workforce shortage and deliver capital support that is crucial to keeping our state competitive for businesses looking to relocate, start, or expand -- all of which will strengthen our economy. I urge the Legislature to pass this program without delay."
