The “Prettiest Village in Maine” is rapidly becoming the “Busiest Village in Maine!”

In the past few years, this idyllic coastal fishing community has grown from a quaint and picturesque tourism attraction into one of the State’s newest and most exciting commercial development destinations. Not surprisingly, as the Town of Wiscasset has had a long and rich history as one of Maine’s most business friendly communities.

From the Town’s earliest days as a major shipping port to its unique partnership with Maine’s only nuclear power generating facility, Wiscasset has consistently shown forward-thinking leadership to its residents and businesses.

Please take a few moments to see what great things are happening in our community, and why business leaders are discovering the “Wiscasset Advantage.”
