The Maine Turnpike's Important Role In The State's Economy
Sun Journal looks at the Maine Turnpike’s first 75 years through the lens of a special anniversary website created by the turnpike authority. The highway’s part in restoring economic vitality at a time when industries like textile and shoe production were entering their decline is a central theme of the commemorative site. According to Erin Courtney, the authority’s public outreach manager, “Many Maine brands are much older, but few have had the widespread impact that the Maine Turnpike has had on the state’s economic health, and in the many ways it has provided incremental changes in the quality of life enjoyed by the vast majority of Mainers.”
