Aroostook Partnership, in collaboration with MaineHousing and the Genesis Community Loan Fund, will host the 2025 Aroostook County Housing Summit on Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Edmunds Conference Center at Northern Maine Community College in Presque Isle.
Building on the success of the 2024 summit, this year’s event will once again bring together community members, municipal leaders, investors, developers, and other key stakeholders to explore effective tools and strategies for spurring housing development across all income levels throughout Aroostook County.
“We’re excited by the strength of our speaker lineup and the range of topics we’ll be covering,” said Kiersten Purington, president and CEO of the Aroostook Partnership. “This summit provides a valuable opportunity for collaboration and learning among those working to address our region’s housing challenges.”
The full-day summit will feature presentations from experienced speakers who will share their expertise and real-world experiences in housing development and financing.
An optional Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit workshop will be offered the day prior to the summit on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at Northern Maine Community College from 2 to 5 p.m.
Led by John Egan and Robyn Wardell from the Genesis Community Loan Fund, this specialized workshop will use case studies to guide participants through the process of successfully securing historic preservation tax credits for development projects.
