Live+Work in Maine has launched its third holiday marketing campaign to encourage the return of "boomerangs" — former Mainers in other states, perhaps seeking education or career opportunities but now looking to relocate to their home state.

The pandemic means the campaign is different this year, but there's a lot of free swag and breweries are giving it away curbside.

As the pandemic leads businesspeople to think more about their choice of a physical location, Maine is becoming a more attractive destination to live and work. Many residents of the state have come to that realization after trying alternatives.

 

Are you or a member of your family a "boomerang" — that is, a former Mainer who has returned to the state?

    My husband left Maine for school and for work, but returned after about 5 years. I, a New Yorker, later came to join him Maine after we met during his time out of state.
