I think their biz plan makes sense.

While I laugh that each new administration in Augusta thinks a new sign down in Kittery saying "Maine is open for business!", or whatever, will open the flood gates to industry. It won't happen until somebody moves the state down between Boston and NYC.

But this is different. We've a history here in Maine as a world class boat building capitol. Our location on the sea for big boats around the world, is second to few. I believe if the facilities exist, the big boats will come. And they can be built here as well. They will need many skilled people. It will be fun to watch.

What about the downside, Nat? I know you moved your boat out of Belfast. Surely the change will have an effect on the harbor. Everybody in town(for the most part), seems to be behind Frontstreet and helping them to expand. You're local, what do you think?
