Still no takers for free land in Camden (Maine)
$175k up front...all you have to do is create 24 full time jobs in 5 years. You get the money back if you accomplish that.
"2.8 acres is located along the Megunticook River and has three-phase power, public water and public sewer."

"The Washington Street property was acquired by the town in 2003 after the former Apollo Tannery shut down and the property owners did not pay their taxes. The decades of the tannery operating at the site, however, left environmental problems. The town and state environmental agencies worked together and cleaned the property. In 2005, residents voted for a bond issue for the town to borrow $836,000 for the clean-up work. The town later received a $200,000 grant used to clean up brownfield sites."

I would love to be able to take advantage of an opportunity like this.
I may go like the FB page to stay abreast of things.
Thanks for the post.
More people live here in tiny Las Vegas than the entire state of Maine.
More people live in the Bronx than live in Maine. And on a related note, more people rely on food subsidies in NYC than live in Maine.
More people live in Belem, Brazil than than Maine.
More people die of tuberculosis every year than live in Maine.
More people in England live completely off any power grid than live in Maine.
More people in the U.S. suffer from irritable bowel syndrome than live in Maine.
More Americans live on less than $2 a day than live in Maine.
OK, my apologies to the DU Mainers, both of you. Just having a bit of fun.
But seriously, when the temperatures rise to the point where arctic survival gear is not required to go outside, it is absolutely gorgeous.

just sayin' 
I want the coldest place possible. With woods and snow and moose and nobody daring to bother me.
you should try northern Maine....stay in the woods though...the towns in northern Maine are where most of the republicans in the state reside
I want to open a tannery on that site.
it's Camden....they don't have sex there. 
I spent a winter working there about a quarter century ago. IIRC, Camden had the highest percentage of millionaires of any town in the state. And yes, the climate along the coast is far milder than 20 miles inland, thanks to the Gulf Stream effect, I guess.
