As the result of the planning effort, we identified additional work that would lead to a stronger foundation for the Complex, lead to more significant benefits to the state than what would not have been possible under the current strategic plan. This additional work would facilitate more opportunities and economic growth for the Complex and the state of Maine. The first need is to secure new business opportunities for industries in the new Space Economy and the Maine Space Complex. The second need is to continue engagement with communities and stakeholders in conversation regarding the Maine Space Complex to ensure that the value proposition is clear and moving toward adoption. less
