WHERE WE LIVE

We’re headquartered in Bangor, Maine, though our employees choose to live, work and enjoy Maine’s quality of life in many communities across the state. Maine is known for its numerous unique characteristics, including significant natural resources, rugged beauty and independent, hard-working people. The quality of life in Maine is highly valued by residents across all demographics. Additionally, it’s appreciated by thousands who call Maine home during the summer and enjoyed by the many more who take advantage of the four-season recreational opportunities Maine offers. The Bangor and Portland metropolitan areas serve as major commerce centers, and many other vibrant shopping communities are located throughout the state. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 1.3 million people live in Maine and occupy more than 729,400 households. Beginning in the Spring, this number is significantly bolstered as “snowbirds” and tourists flock here to enjoy all that Maine has to offer. In 2016, retail sales exceeded $20 billion. Our journalists are located strategically around the state to cover news that matters to Maine readers. From the St. John Valley, to the largest cities, to the coastal beaches, we provide award-winning articles and photographs across several print and digital sources.
