Economic Development
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Sebago's economy will most likely continue to follow its recent pattern. Most local businesses cater to the tourism trade, and most local workers commute to jobs outside Sebago. The health of the local economy is closely tied to trends in the New England region. Protecting the quality of the natural environment of Sebago will be important in maintaining its role as a desirable vacation destination.
Goal:   To promote an economic climate that increases local job opportunities and the overall economic well being of Sebago's citizens.
