AUGUSTA (AP) — Four more Maine communities can now say they are “business friendly.”
Maine’s Department of Economic and Community says Belfast, Caribou, Hermon and South Portland have earned the department’s “business-friendly” certification from the state for making it easier for organizations to do business.
The certification is based on things like customer service, business involvement and collaboration and licensing and permitting.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way.
