W W W. M A I N E B I Z . B I Z 7 O C T O B E R 1 6 , 2 0 1 7 facturing company Kestrel from Brunswick Landing. According to a report by CBS13, MRRA Director Steve Levesque confi rmed that the company, which was one of the fi rst tenants at Brunswick Landing, failed to meet its fi nancial obligations. As early as 2013 Kestrel was behind on paying its rent and vendors and also had to cut health, life and dental insurance after it failed to pay premi- ums for its employees, CBS13 reported. It was unclear how the eviction would impact as many as 40 employ- ees of Kestrel's Brunswick facility. When it fi rst arrived at Brunswick Landing in 2011, Kestrel touted its potential to add 600 jobs there by 2016. But by early 2012 its plans shifted to Wisconsin, which had promised various fi nancial incentives if Kestrel located its manufacturing facility there. Kestrel did so, but contin- ued to maintain a small operation at Brunswick Landing. In 2015, Kestrel merged with Albuquerque, N.M.- based Eclipse Aerospace, becoming ONE Aviation.
