The State of Maine is looking for a firm to handle a $400K economic development and marketing services push to encourage businesses to establish operations at the former Loring Air Force Base.
Located in northeastern Maine near Limestone and Caribou, Loring was among the largest bases of the US Strategic Air Command. It closed in 1994 after a 40-year run.
Currently only 367K sq. ft of the 2.7M sq. ft of available space is occupied by tenants and property owners. Twenty-three organizations lease space.
Though many buildings are in disrepair, about 550K sq. ft of space are in “ready to move in” condition.
Maine is looking to attract offices, data centers, manufacturing/food processing facilities, warehouses and restaurants/hotels for Loring.
The Pine Tree State’s partner will redesign the Loring Development Authority’s website, manage social media, create/distribute a newsletter, produce promotional materials, conduct targeted business visits and attend trade shows/events.
It will sign a two-year contract and kick off the campaign in June.
Responses are due May 3 at the State of Maine Division of Procurement Services at [email protected].
