Governor Mills Visits Tanbark

“If we want to keep Maine competitive with other states that are working aggressively to attract businesses, then we simply cannot be without a business incentive program. Maine will be at a significant disadvantage if the Legislature adjourns without replacing the expiring Pine Tree Development Zone Program,” said Governor Janet Mills. 

We were thrilled to welcome Maine Governor Janet Mills to our Saco facility this morning. It was wonderful to show her around and discuss the importance of adopting a new business incentive plan that helps innovative companies like Tanbark create jobs in Maine and train workers for continued growth.

“Maine’s business incentive program is a key reason that Tanbark has been able to create ten new jobs here in Maine—and we’re still growing,” said Melissa LaCasse, CEO of Tanbark Molded Fiber Products. “The Dirigo Business Incentive Program will help innovative companies like Tanbark to create jobs in Maine and help us train the workers we need for continued growth.”
