build green maine

Maybe you were there, maybe you just heard about it, but more than 100 people showed up at our event to talk about building green in Maine.

Builders, architects, residential developers, product designers and sellers, and energy experts mingled with people who want a sustainably built house and people who were just plain interested in hearing more.

That's just what we hoped would happen when we decided to launch Build Green Maine, the latest program in the Midcoast Magnet family. In this first stage, we brought the practitioners et al together to talk, learn and connect. Next up is the Green Builders Guild - an opportunity to for businesses involved in all aspects of sustainable building to find each other and for potential clients to find them. This all happens at a onestop online resource, buildgreenmaine.com.

Why did we do it? Why green building? Because it's a fast-moving business cluster that embodies everything we love about Maine today: innovative, forward-thinking, good jobs that need good people, and in tune with our pristine land and sea.
