AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - Maine Gov. Paul LePage’s administration says a boat company based in Hancock County is expanding and adding a new facility.
The Department of Economic and Community Development says Ellis Boat Company in Southwest Harbor will have a new crane and more manufacturing space in the expansion. The company expects to add eight new jobs.
