A group of Skowhegan business people have visited Quebec City to investigate the feasibility of cross-border cooperation in the development of marketing and tourism revolving around sustainable food.

Group spokesperson Amber Lambke of Maine Grains said:

“We’re trying to explore marketing and touring opportunities between Quebec and Maine because we receive a lot of Canadian travelers through Skowhegan.We are starting to see folks from Canada coming down to the Kneading Conference and Bread Fair, and what we’d like to be able to do is form more of an exchange and be able to cross-promote trips in both directions to learn from each other.”

The Kennebec-Chaudiere International Corridor which stretches from Quebec City to midcoast Maine, provides an existing framework for this venture.
