Efforts to increase tourism in central Maine, and specifically in Skowhegan and Waterville, received a boost Thursday with an announcement that the Maine Office of Tourism is awarding a $484,500 grant. The grant was awarded to the nonprofit organization Main Street Skowhegan, which is to work with other business groups on tourism development strategies. Main Street Skowhegan, along with the Central Maine Growth Council and the Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce, is expected to develop a unified vision and brand for the Skowhegan and Waterville areas. The groups intend to launch a regional marketing effort.
