Phase 1 immediately attracted Everett J. Prescott and Pine State Beverage. e feeling at Gardiner City Hall was that other lots would fill immediately. But sales stalled along with the economy in 2008. ings eventually turned around. In 2017, Dennis Wheelock of KW Commercial/Magnusson Balfour took over the park's marketing. He and the city decided to change the name of the park, from the Libby Hill Business Park to the 95/295 Business Park, to emphasize its strategic loca- tion — sitting up against I-295, less than a mile from I-95 and reaching much of the state's population within an hour's time. Another marketing point is its infrastructure amenities, including maintained roads, stormwater, domes- tic water, sewer, three-phase power, and highspeed internet to each lot. Businesses looking at raw land have to factor in their costs to develop similar infrastructure, says Wheelock, who notes, "Whereas that's all taken care of in this business park. Our price includes all of those costs and it's shovel-ready." Wheelock says he receives regular inquiries from prospective buyers due to low purchase prices and businesses looking for expansion opportunities. Listings that range from 3.6 to 15 acres are today priced at $49,900 to $124,750. In addition to Everett J. Prescott and Pine State Beverage, businesses include Common Wealth Poultry, Scientific Games, Troiano Waste, » C O N T I N U E D F RO M PA G E 1 8 SP ONSORED BY 7:30–10:30AM / THE WESTIN PORTLAND HARBORVIEW AU G . 25 PA N EL IS T S MOD ER ATOR REGISTER AT MAINEBIZ.BIZ/SMALLBIZ22 Navigating the labor shortage in Maine: How to recruit and retain great employees Dan Belyea Chief Workforce Development Officer of the Maine Community College System Tae Chong Founder, Tae Chong Consulting / Director of Multicultural Markets and Strategies, Maine State Chamber Mark Adams President and CEO of Sebago Technics Becky McKinnell Founder and CEO of iBec Creative Lisa SockaBasin Co-CEO of Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness The informaTion in This profile has been provided by The clienT. magnusson balfour commercial & business brokers 50 Sewall St. - Portland, Maine 04102 • Tel. 207-774-7715 • www.balfourcommercial.com GARDINER 95/295 6.4 ac.
