Business After Hours - Central Maine Power


Every month our Chamber hosts an event designed for members to casually meet and build relationships with business people and individuals from companies and organizations representing a variety of industries in our region.


Our next BAH will be hosted by:


Central Maine Power

Wednesday, May 21st, 530pm - 7pm

57 Searsport Ave. Belfast


It will be a combination of inside and outside of their service building, weather permitting. Joe Purington, President of Central Maine Power, would like to address the group about current updates regarding Electricity Transmission and Distribution in the State. They will then have an active presentation of Live Line (their demonstration trailer) either outside or in the truck bays.
