The city of Portland has successfully attracted its first tenant, an Auburn-based insurance company, to the city’s year-old technology park.
The Bangor Daily News reported that Patrons Oxford Insurance Co. has reached an agreement to buy a 3.47-acre lot at the Portland Technology Park for $625,000 — a move that will nearly offset the city’s investment in creating the park.
Patrons will relocate its 40 employees there after it constructs a 20,000-square-foot building on the lot, with expansion possibilities in the future. Mark Pettingill, Patrons’ CEO, said the location will “accommodate [the company’s] increasing staff of professionals as well as place us in an area of growing economic development.”
