About Us

Undiscovered Maine was founded in 2012 by Dr. Nory Jones as a University of Maine Business School student research project with the goal of increasing tourism and economic development within underrepresented areas of Maine, enabling students to have a positive impact on communities in Maine through our web portal. We support undiscovered regions in Maine by developing a strong social media presence and fostering relationships with local businesses.
