The Northern Forest Center and partners produced the Katahdin Region Recreation Investment Strategy to help guide development of the outdoor recreation economy in Maine’s Katahdin region.  

The Future Forest Economy Initiative invested $3 million to help develop new markets for wood from the Northern Forest.

The Center has purchased 196 Penobscot Avenue in Millinocket, Maine, to redevelop as middle-market housing and commercial spaces to support the community.

New regional recreational wayfinding system will direct Katahdin area visitors beginning in spring 2024.

The Center teamed up with Millinocket-based Designlab to produce a series of videos about the Katahdin region, which has a lot to offer current and potential residents.

The town of Millinocket, Maine, recently installed a new sign system to help visitors find the outdoor experiences and local businesses they need to make the most of their visit to the area.

The Center has granted nearly $30,000 to help Katahdin region businesses spruce up their locations to attract customers.

The Northern Forest Center is offering grants to spruce up store fronts in the Katahdin region.

The Recreation Capacity Development Initiative is building local capacity for improving recreation-related services through partner-led projects.

The Center and regional partners are piloting a wayfinding project to improve the visitor experience, create regional connectivity, and continue to build public momentum and interest in the Katahdin region as a recreation destination.
