Article Highlights Connection Between UMaine, Town of Orono
The Bangor Daily News has an article about efforts on the part of Orono businesses to encourage students to visit downtown Orono often for eating out, shopping and services. UMaine associate professor of communications and journalism was interviewed for the story, and told the BDN that it is important that universities and communities find ways to mutually support each other. The article also noted the work that UMaine’s Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center has worked with the businesses to research how to best promote and market downtown Orono.
