*Presque Isle and Houlton, MAINE* -- Governor Janet Mills today visited Presque Isle and Houlton to meet with business and community leaders about economic development, workforce growth, and revitalization efforts in Aroostook County.

At Northern Maine Community College in Presque Isle, Governor Mills attended the Board of Directors meeting of the Aroostook Partnership [ [link removed] ], a public-private consortium of Aroostook County businesses, higher education, nonprofit and government leaders dedicated to advancing economic development and workforce growth.

"It has been great to travel through Aroostook County, stopping to talk with store clerks, business owners, local leaders, restaurant workers, educators, paper makers, firefighters, and community members. My visit would not have been complete until I returned to my grandparents' homestead on Main Street in Ashland, where my mother was born," *said Governor Mills*. "The County is a place that cherishes its past and welcomes its future. It's a place where family, hard work, a sense of community and enjoyment of the great outdoors are values in every season of the year. I'm proud to have helped communities in The County -- by expanding broadband, helping hospitals, schools and business, and supporting workforce initiatives -- to move this beautiful region forward."

"We were pleased to host the Governor today at the Aroostook Partnership's quarterly board meeting to share the efforts our business and community leaders are engaging in to attract talent to the region,"*said Kiersten S. Purington, President & CEO of the Aroostook Partnership*. "These dedicated individuals are also making a significant impact in helping new residents feel connected and showcasing the wonderful opportunities that exist here in The County."
