I live in a beautiful college town in Maine. I can give you some insight into why the land in Camden won't go even for free. Camden, if you aren't aware, is where most of the celebrities with summer homes in Maine live. The land is subject to SO many prohibitive business regulations and taxes and other overhead costs that having a profitable business is not really possible. Also, since it is populated by the upper class and Mainers have referendums on everything, depending on what type of business you try to open you might have a huge fight from the locals who hate change. Maine is not a business friendly state. Tourism is our biggest employer. If it weren't for tourism there would be no jobs in Maine. Most people work in places they can't afford to live in, like Portland. Camden is crazy gentrified as well. Perhaps that will help clear things up, I hope you found it helpful. ❤😊

No, the land is free. When you buy a house it’s only part of the price, you’re paying for the land. And after you pay, you pay a tax on the property twice every year. And of course they’re looking to generate revenues, the land is just sitting there earning nothing, and the city owns the property, instead of selling it They are giving it away.

I looked into the Camden, Maine situation - It’s toxic land where a tannery was build years ago. Lots of toxic chemicals everywhere. They cleaned it up, but it’s possible it’s in the water supply forever. Also you have to promise to build immediately at a cost of $200K. Then you have to hire 24 people within a year.

I was on the path of becoming a monk at one time but was compelled into a path of social responsibility. I will just say this, please be more informed and mindful before subscribing so-called "universal" and highly abstract ideologies onto everyone's experience. I suppose Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Emmet Till, Native Americans, and countless others created the reality of Jim Crow and genocide? No. There is so much more context. Please learn more on American history and parallel your beliefs to what has happened, see how it applies or may not be that simple before shutting down the arguments of others from an uninformed perspective. Your comments lead me to believe you are uninformed on much American history in this world of duality. Otherwise, you would approach this convo much differently. Due to being informed, I advocate #reparations for Black American Descendants of Slavery who have been continiously terrorized and murdered for hundreds of years and who are central to the wealth building of this country, and for Native Americans for the genocide and stolen land.

I’m about an hour South of Camden, it’s nice, I like the scenic route to Bar Harbor on Rt1 in Maine. Camden is tricky for business, just like every coastal area north of Portland. Tourism is great a few months a year. Fishing is hard work, but some of these people are doing very well. Local services is really the best bet, food, beer, or a trade. So it’s a good small business opportunity. Research would be key, before moving to Maine. Retail is very tough outside of tourist and holiday seasons. Mainers are typically hard working and trustworthy, so a production company is good. Heating said production company cuts into the bottom line. It’s the only thing that keeps us from having large businesses, the people are typically amazing. That said, if you move here because you like it, please remember to leave it the way you found it. We like things this way too. Maine, The way Life Should Be

The reason skeetown (Muskegon) is offering up free to businesses is that most people don't want to live there and if they already do, they need more opportunities. The Lakeshore is certainly beautiful and the industrial areas offered are near Lake Michigan. My hometown is about 30 mi from there and in between is Manistee national forest, pictured in many Pure Michigan ads. There's tons of recreation and boating, and Michigan has more inland lakes than any other state besides Minnesota. Skeetown might not be the best place to live but it's worth starting a strong business there and living a little outside of town in the boundless beauty of nature. Haha, yes Michigan
