Bangor Savings Bank fi nanced the acquisition and renovation and Bernstein Shur did the legal work, ReVision Energy co-founder Fortunat Mueller told Mainebiz via email. e company had been looking for space since early 2017, investigating a variety of options to accommodate ReVision Energy's growing Portland operations, which are currently spread across a couple diff erent offi ce spaces and at least four diff erent warehouses because the company has outgrown its existing space on Presumpscot Street, wrote Mueller. e company looked for space available to lease, space to buy, as well as opportunities to build to suit.
