Thank you for inquiring
about business opportunities in the Hancock County Area.
As the shire town of
Hancock County, Ellsworth is the administrative and commercial hub of Downeast
Maine. The motto is also appropriate because the city successfully merges a
high quality of life with a growing business climate.
Because Hancock is gaining
in popularity, it provides good soil for new business. As you think about a
business move to the area, you may have the following questions.
-
Will the economy of
Hancock County
provide a base whereby my business can succeed?
-
What are the business needs, both in retail
and service industries of the area?
-
Will
Hancock County provide a high
quality of life for my family and me?
-
Will my children receive quality education?
As you
will see from the following pages,
Hancock County can supply all
these things and more. The area provides for incoming businesses as well as
opportunities for growth in companies already here.
The
City of Ellsworth is small enough to allow businesses to build
customer relationships based on trust and friendliness, and large enough to
maintain reasonable profits.
Besides
being the County seat with its attendant governmental and legal functions,
Ellsworth is also the trading, banking, and dining center for
Hancock County and parts of the neighboring counties. The major towns in the
Greater Ellsworth Area are Blue Hill, Bar Harbor, Castine, Deer Isle,
Franklin, Hancock, Lamoine, Sorrento, Stonington, Sullivan, Surry, and
Trenton.
It is
our hope that the information contained within this website will provide you
with a starting point from which these questions can be answered. We encourage
you to contact the organizations listed in the resource sections for more
detailed information.
Please
feel free to contact the Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce for any further
assistance we can provide.
