Maine's economy faces many complex challenges in the years ahead.
Economic development professionals, policymakers and others involved in
supporting and enhancing Maine's economic development efforts are
looking for credible, research-based information upon which to base
state and local policies and program efforts. To address this important
need, the University of Maine's School of Economics organized a
Web-based conference, "Building a Vibrant Maine Economy," featuring
cutting-edge research on several critically important topics affecting
the future vitality of Maine's economy.
This conference is brought to you by: the University of Maine School
of Economics; the University of Maine's Maine Business School; the
University of Maine College of Natural Sciences, Forestry and
Agriculture; and University of Maine Cooperative Extension.
If you would like to be added to the School of Economics' mailing
list to receive information related to economic development in Maine,
