The Governor’s plan makes historic investments in unaddressed needs and longstanding challenges to achieve three goals:
immediate economic recovery from the pandemic;
long-term economic growth for Maine; and
infrastructure revitalization.
The plan accomplishes these goals by supporting Maine small businesses and heritage industries, encouraging new businesses and job creation through innovation and entrepreneurship, and investing in essential infrastructure – broadly defined as roads and bridges, broadband, affordable housing, and child care – to keep and attract young families.
The plan draws heavily on recommendations from the Governor’s Economic Recovery Committee and the State’s 10-Year Economic Development Strategy, transforming these best-made plans into real action to improve the lives of our people and to strengthen the economy.
