Governor Janet Mills of Maine has announced that 40 businesses in the state have been awarded a total of $3.13 million in grants through the Domestic Trade Program. Launched in October as part of the Maine Jobs and Recovery Plan, the program aims to support Maine businesses in expanding their sales of Maine-made products throughout the United States.
The grants will assist Maine companies in developing new market opportunities across the country, promoting a wide range of products, including blueberries, oysters, forest products, and medical supplies. The Domestic Trade Program offers both financial and technical support to help businesses grow their domestic sales.
Governor Mills emphasized the high quality of Maine-made products and expressed enthusiasm for the grant program's potential to boost sales, create jobs, and strengthen the state's economy. By helping Maine businesses promote their offerings to consumers across the United States, the program seeks to showcase the exceptional goods and services that Maine has to offer.
The 40 businesses selected in this first round of grants represent a diverse array of industries and products. A second round of grant funding is now open for applications, with eligible Maine-based businesses invited to apply through April 12, 2024.
The Domestic Trade Program grants serve as a significant investment in the growth and success of Maine's business community, demonstrating the state's commitment to supporting local companies and promoting economic development.
