Officials from northern Maine, Boston and Canada came together on Friday afternoon to talk about cross-border trade and what it means to the region in an inaugural "Beyond Borders" panel in Madawaska.
The talk featured in-depth discussions on four topics: the impacts of tariffs and the pandemic on trade, the importance of the French language to cultural identity and trade, cross-industries on both sides of the border, and ways in which the Madawaska's status as one of just a few Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) in the state can promote international trade.
