Reinventing Skowhegan with river waves, grains, and big plans

Maine Community Foundation Season 1 Episode 2

Local entrepreneurs and community leaders discuss the revitalization efforts of downtown Skowhegan. 

Matt DuBois, co-owner of The Bankery and Skowhegan Fleursite & Formalwear, and Amber Lambke, co-founder of Maine Grains, share what drew them to Skowhegan, the goals of the nonprofit organization Main Street Skowhegan, and how the "gateway to the North Woods" is becoming an attraction all its own.

The Maine Community Foundation has awarded multiple grants to Main Street Skowhegan projects. 

The "Maine Ties" theme is "Blue Heron" by 317 Main.
