The mission of GrowSmart Maine is to build lasting prosperity without sacrificing the quality of life that defines Maine.

Maine has many strengths: iconic landscapes and architecture, a strong sense of local community, and our gritty, independent spirit.

GrowSmart Maine believes these strengths are the foundation for lasting prosperity. Our smart growth goals include downtown revitalization, conservation of farmland, forest and shoreland, and support for economic development that benefits not just today’s Mainers but our children and grandchildren.
