Gov. Paul LePage has nominated Robert A. “Bob” Martin, of Newcastle, as the next director of the Maine Technology Institute.
Newcastle residents might know Martin as a representative of the Newcastle Harbor House project and a candidate, in 2011, for the Newcastle Board of Selectmen.
The Maine Technology Institute is a nonprofit organization that promotes the generation of high-quality jobs throughout Maine. The institute provides commercialization assistance in the form of competitive grants, loans and equity investment for the research, development and application of technologies.
The Lincoln County News will post more details here and in the Aug. 22 print edition.
