Madawaska officials plan to kick off a business acceleration program later this year that will support northern Maine entrepreneurs with educational and financial assistance.
The program, dubbed the St. John Valley Business Acceleration Program, is part of a broader, multiyear effort by the town to boost business development across the greater St. John Valley area, Madawaska Economic Development Director Kristen Henry said.
"More broadly, it aligns with our goal of positioning Madawaska and the Greater St. John Valley as a hub for cross-border economic activity, and ensuring our local businesses are equipped to take advantage of those opportunities," Henry said.
