Maine's construction industry is open for business, all while adopting creative, safe, and efficient systems and procedures. Our goal is to keep Maine building safely with the continuation of essential services by demonstrating that we can distance, be clean, and share the re- sponsibility for leadership. One day at a time…one construction site at a time—we are working through this together.

"We're grateful for the generous support from our neighbors at Camden National Bank and our incredible community of donors," said Liz Jenkins, AIO's board president. "AIO is a vital and growing part of the web of services that holds our community together, and we can't do it without working hand-in-hand with local organizations, public and private."
