Houlton joins venture to spice up small enterprise innovation

HOULTON, Maine — Houlton is considered one of 10 Maine cities participating in a nationwide plan to nurture small companies.

The one Aroostook County city concerned, Houlton joins Ellsworth, Augusta, Tub, Belfast, Biddeford, Saco, Gardiner, Rockland and Westbrook within the nationwide Principal Avenue America 2022-23 Entrepreneur Ecosystem Challenge.

As post-pandemic distant working will increase and home-based companies blossom in rural areas, cities want supportive environments for entrepreneurs. Extra enterprise homeowners imply a extra bustling downtown, and that’s what Houlton Director of Group Improvement Nancy Ketch desires to see.
