A message from the President: Join us in launching a new decade

W

e are approaching two major milestones in the history of the LewistonAuburn Economic Growth Council.

The first, and most immediate, is this year’s Androscoggin Business to Business Trade Show, which marks the 15th consecutive year we’ve hosted the show.

The show has grown in size and stature, from its initial roots as a showcase for a handful of local manufacturers, to the state’s largest one-day business show.

We’ve also evolved at different venues over the years, ranging from the Bates Mill Complex and the Merrill Gym, to the Bates College Grey Athletic Building and, finally, to the show’s home today at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee.

Naturally, we’ve tinkered with the show over the years. For example,

for years, we offered numerous seminars geared toward small businesses. Experts presented hands- on information about branding, business financing, and technology. One year, we hosted a wine-tasting seminar. We’ve held panel discussions, and one-on-one sessions with government contract procurement specialists.

The event was piggy-backed with the Governor’s Conference on Small Business one year, and – one year we’d like to forget – even paired with a job fair. (Note to self: stick to one major event at a time.)

We’ve had memorable keynote speakers as well. We’ve had CEOs (former People’s Bank President Bill Ryan, Maine & Company CEO Matt Jacobson, and former Fairpoint CEO Gene Johnson), energy experts (Robert Gardiner of

Lucien Gosselin

Indep endence Wind), and MAINEiacs officials (Matt McKnight and Don MacAdam).

This year, we’re focusing our attention on “Launching a New Decade.” What do we mean by that? We want to provide a way for people to tap into the relentless optimism, creativity, and resource f ulness of the Androscoggin County business community. We want this decade to be marked by reaping new ideas out of necessity. In a word, we want to harness the ingenuity that is the hallmark of Maine, and in particular, Lewiston-Auburn.

One key element about the show has never changed through the years, whether bear market or bull market, economic expansion or The Great Recession: it has always

We try to make the show as e f fe c tive, comfor t able, and productive as possible to allow for people to engage in business.

energized to learn new things, exchange ideas, trade leads, and conduct business. In the end, the show is a very powerful venue for business.

For example, we provide a networking breakfast at Bates College to start the day, and a networking After Hours to end it. We offer a quiet place to check e-mails, a meeting room for oneon-one meetings, Wi-Fi Internet connections, lunch offerings – even a place to unwind with a free massage.

I mentioned two milestones in my opening paragraph. The other is the 30th anniversary of the Lewiston-Auburn Economic Growth Council, the organizer of the show. Next year will mark 30 years that the organization was first created as a way to eliminate competition between the two cities, attract business to the area, and to provide an organized response to economic development requests for the Lewiston-Auburn community.

There is one aspect of our show we can’t entirely take credit for, however: that’s the energy of the show itself. The source of that energy is hard to quantify. In large part, however, it originates from the enthusiasm of our exhibitors, our sponsors, and partners. It emanates from the talent and passion of our B to B Planning Committee. It is transferred by the creativity and dedication of ad designers at Encompass Marketing and T.H. Creations. It flows from the collective ef for ts of the Androscoggin County Chamber of Commerce, the city of Lewiston, and city of Auburn. It builds upon the power of our generous sponsors and their resources, commitment, and support.

Finally, it culminates with our numerous attendees, who look forward to the show, and come

By offering these services, we help grow the tax base, create jobs, and serve as a catalyst for community investment. In essence, we plug businesses into the community however and whenever we can.

Great Brand,

Without a vibrant business environment, dedicated business people, and available resources, there would be no Growth Council.

And there would be no trade show.

In many ways, the analogy of the show relates to the model of the Growth Council. By providing technical assistance, site location assistance, gap financing, and marketing suppor t to client companies wishing to relocate or expand in L-A, the Growth Council provides an important connection t o o u r co m m u n i t y ’s m a ny resources. Much of what we do helps businesses and individuals connect: to capital, space, and other resources.

So, here’s to 15 more years of energy and excitement from businesses connec ting with businesses at the show, and 30 more years of businesses needing to tap into the energy that we are so fortunate to have here in Androscoggin County.

Enjoy the show!

What “green” means: the FTC’s guide for environmental claims

C

ompanies everywhere have figured out that by asserting their products are “green,” eco -friendly and made from recyclables, consumers buy them up guilt-free.

But what on ear th do these descriptions ac tually mean?

What does it take to name a product green?

As a consumer or a business, learning the meaning of “greenspeak ” is increasingly important to understand what you are buying, or in determining if what you are selling falls in any of these categories (and if not, what it would take to get there).

The Federal Trade Commission has released a guide to making green claims, which offers explanations and examples of what is and isn’t fair game.

Clarity: First and foremost, tell it like it is: the clearer the better. The FTC emphasizes clarity in terms of language, type, size and the absence of contrary claims that muddle the product’s meaning.

Distinction between benefits of product, package and service: The claim must clearly identify which aspect it refers to when stating the benefit.

Example: “A box of aluminum foil is labeled with the claim ‘recyclable,’ without further elaboration. Unless the type of product, surrounding language, or other context of the phrase establishes whether the claim refers to the foil or the box, the claim is deceptive if any part of either the box or the foil, other than minor, incidental components, cannot be recycled.”

Avoid overstating the benefits: If the produc t doesn’t have significant environmental benefits, don’t mess with the label by manipulating the numbers.

Example: “A package is labeled, ‘50% more rec ycled content than before.’ The manufacturer increased the recycled content of its package from 2 percent recycled material to 3 percent recycled material. Although the claim is technically true, it is likely to convey the false impression that the advertiser has increased significantly the use of recycled material.”

Example: “An ad claims that the advertiser’s packaging creates ‘less waste than the leading national brand.’ The advertiser’s source reduction was implemented some time ago and is supported by a calculation comparing the relative

solid waste contributions of the two packages. The advertiser should be able to substantiate that the comparison remains accurate.”

Don’t make broad environmental benefit claims: “Unqualified general claims of environmental benefit are difficult to interpret, and depending on their context, may convey a wide range of meanings to consumers.

In many cases, such claims may convey that the product, package or service has specific and farreaching environmental benefits.”

Example: “A brand name like ‘Eco-Safe’ would be deceptive if, in the context of the product so named, it leads consumers to believe that the product has environmental benefits which cannot be substantiated by the manufacturer. The claim would not be deceptive if ‘Eco-Safe’ were

These are a few of the main points in the FTC Guide, which can be found at www.ftc.gov by searching “green guides.” A great way to make sure what you are buying is really green is to take a minute to read the label, and if the company is abiding by the FTC regulations, it should be as clear as a mountain stream.

For businesses, explore the guide and see if what you are doing, or what you could be doing, is really environmentally friendly.

Another high-profile project that illuminates how L-A is playing to its new strengths – and is attracting international attention in the process – is Lufthansa Technik’s historic Lockheed Constellation restoration project. Lufthansa’s non-profit foundation recently purchased three rare Lockheed L-1649A “Super Star” aircraf t in a private sale in Auburn and is overseeing restoration of one aircraft that will be fully operational and built just as it would have come off the assembly line in the 1950s. Lufthansa Technik decided to undertake the project right in Auburn.

In the late 1950s, the Lockheed Constellation series pioneered long-range air travel, with an unprecedented capabilit y of flying more than 6,100 nautical miles. Lufthansa, one of the most revered and best-run companies in the world, has hired two dozen local technicians whom they have specially trained to work on the two-year project. The work is being completed in a new 30,000 square-foot hangar at the Auburn-

Another internationally renowned company is Kellogg’s Snacks, which recently opened a 60,000-squarefoot facility in the new Auburn Industrial Park. Kellogg’s is the latest distribution company to take advantage of L-A’s growing transpor tation and logistics amenities.

Just as Lewiston-Auburn was built largely as a result of the power of the Androscoggin River as an energy source, L-A is being redefined and recreated in part by the strength of its transportation, distribution, and logistics industry.

The area’s central location is a major selling point, as nearly half the state’s population is located

within 30 miles of L-A. LewistonAuburn’s strategic location is enhanced by two turnpike exits with direct access to I-95; two railroads, including St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad (operated

by Genesee & Wyoming), with international connections to deep sea ports via Canadian National; and a busy and growing airport.

The area also has a double-stack rail-to-truck intermodal facility located at a U.S. Customs port of entry. Excluding oil deliveries, if measured by the sheer volume of cargo containers, the Auburn port is Maine’s busiest.

Auburn’s bustling Turner Street and Mount Auburn Avenue area, where a new Famous Footwear and PetCo recently opened.

Each of the area’s four colleges has experienced robust growth as well. L-A College recently completed a new 14,000-squarefoot, $2.5 million learning center called LearningWorks. (Another 8,000-square-foot build-out on the second floor is underway.)

The facility houses College for ME Androscoggin, an effort to encourage Androscoggin County residents to pursue college degrees and lifelong learning opportunities.

Bates College recently opened a $30 million dining hall focused on eco-friendly efficiency and design, as well as a new dorm and walking

path. Kaplan University (formerly Andover College, the freshman among L-A institutions of higher learning), expanded across the street from its first Lisbon Street location to occupy a second campus building. Central Maine Community College completed a new residence hall for more than 150 students. The first on-campus housing project since 1975, the 27,0 0 0 -square - fo ot building on CMCC’s campus houses a function room on the fourth floor overlooking Lake Auburn.

Extensive work continues at the Bates Mill Complex, this time on the Canal Street entrance, perhaps the most well-known profile of the sprawling complex whose famous clock tower is a local landmark.

The Executive Office Building was torn down to work on a grand entryway with a staircase that will lead to other parts of the mill and will spill out onto the courtyard.

The complex now boasts a number

of mixed use tenants, including banks, high-end restaurants, and offices.

Quality restaurants continue to open their doors – most recently Marché and City Side Grill – or re-open, as is the case with the much-anticipated rebirth of The Village Inn. Successful restaurateur and entrepreneur Eric Agren recently purchased the property at 40 Lisbon Street in Lewiston for Marché. He has created a mixeduse building there consisting of a high-end residence on the second floor and a luncheon/creperie restaurant on the first. This will mirror the model he has created with his highly successful Fuel restaurant across the street. That property also houses him and his wife upstairs in a beautifully renovated and spacious lof t apartment.

Marché is a boutique style lunch venue with limited dinner service.

Baxter Brewing Co. will be opening in the Bates Mill Complex in Lewiston soon.

Sun Journal file photo

The cozy 40-seat luncheon boasts a 30-bottle wine list, beers, and a one-night-a week dinner called “Monday Night Supper” with four courses and a single seating for 20 people.

Speaking of adaptive reuse, local restaurateur Jules Patry, who manages Davinci’s Eatery at the Bates Mill Complex, has purchased a long- dormant building on

downtown Lisbon Street which he will also renovate and convert to mixed use. Taking a page from Agren’s recipe book, the top floors of 84 Lisbon Street will be living space, and the bottom floor is intended to be a mix of office and retail space.

Advertising Supplement to the Sun Journal, Sunday, June 6, 2010

The Great American Grill at the Hilton Garden Inn Auburn Riverwatch offers regional cuisine and house specialties, ranging from steak and chicken to salads and seafood. The Great American Grill offers three meals a day, convenient parking, and a central location at 14 Great Falls Plaza in Auburn.

The menu at Tio Juan’s Margaritas showcases the lively flavors of Mexican cuisine and its delicious meals are made with the freshest ingredients. Everything they offer is handmade daily, on-premise at each location. A visit to any Margaritas is like dining out in Mexico without getting on a plane. Every year, their staff travel to Mexico and attend workshops,

and visit markets and the homes of talented artisans to find colorful, unique artwork, décor, and furniture handcrafted by artisans and brought back to their restaurants throughout New England. Margaritas’ Auburn location is at 180 Center Street.

EnerGov project: Twin Cities collaboration is iconic

Directions to the Colisee

By Glenn Aho Auburn City Manager

T

he Twin Cities are boldly going where no Maine communit y has gone before, and nowhere else in Maine will development be easier.

Unique to L-A, the Twin Cities have forged a collaborative union and invested into the EnerGov Solutions project, an innovative software solution that launches municipal Twin City development, and many other functions, well into the 21st century.

From the north... Take Lewiston Exit 80. Bear right. Take the Lewiston off-ramp (196 W) which will loop around to Lisbon Street. At the fourth set of lights, take a right onto East Avenue. At second traffic light, take a left onto Bartlett Street, then take a right at stop sign onto Birch Street. The Longley School and Multi-Purpose Center will soon be on your right, and the Colisee will be on your left.

Follow signs for parking.

From the south... Take Lewiston Exit 80. Take a left at the light onto Alfred Plourde Parkway.

Take the Lewiston off-ramp (196 W) which will loop around to Lisbon Street. At the fourth set of lights, take a right onto East Avenue. At second traffic light, take a left onto Bartlett Street, then take a right at stop sign onto Birch Street. The Longley School and Multi-Purpose Center will be on your right, and the Colisee will be on your left. Follow signs for parking.

The project promises to streamline the development process so that codes, planning, permitting, and more, will be nearly identical re gardl ess of which cit y a developer is working. Internally, the Ener G ov proje c t of fer s even more opportunities for greater productivity and further collaboration between the Twin Cities as the development phase of this project is only our first step toward the endless possibilities of this innovative technology.

Our initial application of this software includes 12 departments and 75 processes in EACH city. The EnerGov project is iconic for Twin City collaboration representing how s taf f f rom b oth cities

Working from recommendations and ideas suggested by the Citizens Commission on Lewiston-Auburn Cooperation, staff identified how those ideas could be turned into results by using innovative technology, such as using the Ener G ov software. City Councils from both Auburn and Lewiston voted unanimously to suppor t the project in October of 2009 and make the joint purchase, which

saved the cities $244,000 had the purchases been made separately.

Since then, staf f from both sides of the river have worked together feverishly to rebuild the processes for development from the ground up. Even better, the entire process was built keeping the perspective of the customer in mind. Project Leader, and Auburn Assistant City Manager Laurie Smith said, “Everything we did and everything we discussed was from the perspective of the

Economizing city functions based upon field and financial data will allow city administration to make better decisions, thus furthering our efforts to reduce governmental expenses. Having similar platforms in each city will also create opportunities for employee sharing where staffing may be placed in either city depending upon service demands.

Survey: A customer-focused workforce leads to higher business performance

W

hat ’s th e key to creating a customerfocused organization?

Here’s one of the ans wer s from the trenches of a highperformance company: “A culture of accountability makes a good organization great and a great organization unstoppable.”

A new major study on customer focus conducted by the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp), in conjunction with American Management Association (AMA), found that accountability that starts at the top is critical to customer focus. Six t y-seven percent of respondents from highmarket-performing companies that are good at focusing on customers say their organizations hold at least one corporate officer responsible for the customer experience. By contrast, 3% of lower-market-performing firms that are poor in this area hold an officer accountable.

Companies that excel in overall p er formance do something else ab out cus tomer fo cus differently, too. They make sure that a commitment to customer service doesn’t stop with senior leaders-or even with customerfacing employees. Leaders of top-notch firms create customerfocused cultures that suffuse their organizations, reaching from sales professionals with daily customer co nt ac t to p ro du c ti o n - lin e employees who may never have

a conversation with a consumer, but whose efforts are just as vital to company success. Nearly seven out of 10 high-performing organizations say they work to build such a power culture. Lower performers? Fewer than half.

“Alignment of the corporate mission, vision and goals with customer satisfaction” is viewed as a critical practice, according to one study participant from a high-performing company. “Bringing these concepts to the employee level and creating

But how does an organization seeking better performance bring about that kind of culture shift?

secondary visions that align their actions with the overall vision has increased [our] focus on exceeding customer expectations.”

Four out of five respondents from high-performing companies say that financial growth is the key driving force behind their focus on customers. Certainly, i4cp research has shown that market focus—which revolves around a focus on customers—is one of the

five core attributes of high market performance. So it makes sense that a corporate culture centered on customers is likely to yield positive bottom-line results.

Al o n g w i th a cco unt ab ili t y, communication and training are among the most vital components in culture-building approaches, the study found. “We are more actively sharing competitive data with lower levels of the organization,” one business leader revealed. In addition, the company is “instilling a culture of innovation and customer obsession to drive behavior focused on the customer.”

Multiple respondents from highperforming companies described their firms’ educational efforts.

Customer-focused training “is part of our onboarding and new employee orientation,” said one.

Another cited “continuous training on customer care practices” and a third explained, “We run training on a different customer service topic every month.”

Companies that achieve high levels of performance in today’s volatile marketplace demonstrate not only a dedication to customer service but also a commitment to anticipating customer needs and being proactive in meeting those needs. This type of forwardthinking mindset is one of the hallmarks of a culture that is truly customer focused.

New commerce department reports lay foundation for measuring green economy, carbon dioxide emissions

T

he U.S. Commerce Depar tment ’s Economics and Statistics Administration released two new reports: one that defines and measures the size and scope of the green economy and another that looks at the ways in which the American economy’s greenhouse gas emissions have changed over the past decade. Together, they provide valuable analytic tools needed to understand the emerging green economy, quantify greenhouse gas emissions and help inform future policy decisions.

“The Obama Administration’s agenda for economic recovery depends in part on efforts to develop clean energy and energyefficiency technology,” Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said. “These reports provide important insights and are a valuable foundation to measure our success as that agenda moves forward. These efforts could put millions of people to work in high-skill, high-wage jobs as opportunities to export green products and ser vices expand and nations seek more energy sources.”

MS & P

The first of the two reports, “Measuring the Green Economy,” provides an important initial step toward measuring the size and composition of the emerging green economy and the number of green jobs it has created. By using publicly-available data on more than 20,000 products and services, the report shows that the green economy is well-poised for growth.

Principal findings of the report include: • Shipments/receipts of green products and services comprise between $371 billion to $516 billion in 2007.

• The number of green jobs ranged from about 1.8 million to 2.4 million.

• Green manufacturing jobs totaled between 200,000 and 240,000.

• Green services jobs were much higher, and totaled between 1.4 million and 1.8 million.

• Energy conservation, resource conservation and pollution control were the predominant green activities, accounting for about 80% to 90% of green shipments/ receipts and employment.

The second report, “U.S. Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Intensities Over Time,” shows that, while signif icant work remains in curtailing greenhouse emissions, a large number of economic sectors have indeed become more energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) efficient – particularly the manufacturing sector. The report reveals that households are responsible for about 30 percent of energyrelated CO2 emissions, more than any other sector. It also provides a comprehensive accounting of carbon dioxide emissions across every economic sector – industry, the government and households – from 1998 to 2006, and lays out a understanding of changes in greenhouse gas emissions, in both total and per dollar of output. The methodology in this report can be used going forward to track the impact of any future policy aimed at reducing emissions.

• Manufacturing was responsible for one-quarter of total CO2 emissions in 2006, down 30% from 1998.

• The household sector did not become more energy efficient.

In 1997, manufacturing emitted more CO2 than any other sector. But by 2006, households were the largest CO2 emitting sector. During these years, while manufacturing was reducing its emission per dollar of output, CO2 emissions per household increased.

• Some sub-sectors and companies have become markedly more efficient in the

• The large number of households makes their cumulative effect a significant factor in total

emissions. Heat and power in residential structures accounted for about two-thirds of total households emissions, whereas household transportation accounted for the remainder.

airPoint Communications recently agreed to work with the State of Maine, the regional Economic Development D i s t r i c t s a n d co l l a b o r a t i ve investors across Maine to establish Mobilize Maine and develop regional capacity throughout the state that will build a strong, growing and sustainable knowledge-based economy for all of Maine.

greatly limiting their success.

These include programs such as tax subsidies, investment plans, tax reform and task forces.

Why we need Mobilize Maine

What’s different about Mobilize Maine?

Maine has seen a significant decline in traditional manufacturing and commodityb as e d in dus tr ies ove r p as t decades and these losses have not been fully replaced with new, sustainable businesses and good quality jobs. As a result, Maine’s p er- capita p ersonal income growth, compared to the national average, has declined from 28th to 35th in the U.S. since 1989.

• M obilize Maine is a needed, new, collaborative, bottom-up approach to community and economic development that will help Maine grow and prosper now and in years to come.

Economic development efforts in the past have changed with every change of administration in Augus t a and have b e en chronically fragmented, top-down, disconnected and under-funded,

Current economic development efforts focus largely on competition for business and jobs among Maine cities, towns and regions and are not clearly focused on how Maine as a whole may better compete in the global economy.

• M obilize Maine is a fresh approach to community and economic development that builds on indigenous strengths and authentic assets of Maine’s people, places and businesses.

• Mobilize Maine will identify and develop strategies to address Maine’s unique assets, which may be skills, businesses, activities or special places that have market-leverage

in the global economy, but may not have been previously recognized.

What will Mobilize Maine do?

• Establish long-term strategies for growth that will span successive state administrations, and be sustained by a broad mass of local, private, public and nonprofit sector leaders and citizen volunteers.

• I nitiate a ground-up approach whereby citizens in each region will identify strengths and assets that will be the foundation of the new economy.

• Identify regional priorities that will become the basis for private, public and philanthropic investment in each economic region.

• Preserve and sustain Maine’s unique Quality of Place, while growing good paying jobs and businesses.

• Focus on measurable outcomes with firm timeframes, benchmarks, and assigned responsibility for getting things done.

How will Mobilize Maine connect to other related efforts?

Mobilize Maine will be facilitated and coordinated by and among the six Economic Development Districts, namely: • N orthern Maine Development Commission (NMDC) • E astern Maine Development Corporation (EMDC) • K ennebec Valley Council of

2009 good year for international trade (Reprinted with permission by the Maine International Trade Center)

In 2000, Maine companies exported to 160 countries, and exported at least $100,000 of product to 83 countries. In 2008, Maine companies exported to 163 countries, and exported at least $100,000 of product to 99 countries.

Despite a decade of success, 2009 was a challenging year for Maine’s export community.

Expor ts began to decline considerably amid the global financial crisis beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008. Maine expor ts fell of f their record 2008 pace by 24% in calendar year 2009. Trade numbers did, however, show signs of recovery in the summer of 2009. In 2009, the Maine International Trade

Maine now has more major trading partners, in parts of the world that were once unheard of to Maine businesses.

Global building booms throughout the 2000s, as well as high demand for computer, te c h n o l o g i c a l , a n d d e f e ns e products has changed the

destinations of Maine goods.

Although Canada remains Maine’s largest trading partner, huge new markets in Asia and the Middle East have emerged, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in sales to Maine companies. The table below illustrates some of the market changes of the last decade.

The future of international trade in Maine is bright as more and more Maine companies learn of the tremendous opportunities available in foreign markets.

Exports offer opportunity for economic growth Increased global trade and the growing interdependence among nations of the world has resulted in an expanding middle class and an historic opportunity for U.S. exporters, said Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade Francisco Sánchez. “President Obama’s National Export Initiative has two short-term goals: double exports in the next five years and support 2 million jobs. The priority focus of the NEI is to put America on a track to take full advantage of the global marketplace.”

The NEI goals require a repositioning of America’s strategic outlook in regards to exporting, and Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration plays a major role in implementing the necessary initiatives and programs designed to achieve these objectives. To better reach the 95 percent of the world’s potential consumers living outside the United States, ITA is utilizing strategic partnerships and engaging private sector experts to increase exporting possibilities for U.S. companies.
