Gov. Paul R. LePage presented three Maine companies with a “2016 Governor's Award for Business Excellence” during a reception Tuesday at the Blaine House in Augusta.
The 26th annual awards, administered by the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development and sponsored by FairPoint Communications, recognize Maine businesses that demonstrate a high level of commitment to their community, employees and to manufacturing or service excellence.
“These businesses represent the best of the best here in Maine,” said LePage. "All three of these businesses honored today are dedicated to quality workmanship, maintaining a loyal and dedicated workforce, and giving back to the community. I thank each of them for doing business in our state and for serving as a great example for other Maine businesses."
