WHY DO YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY HERE? Visitors always remark about how friendly everyone is. It's so true! Whether you come for a visit or you move your family here, you will find a welcoming community who will go out of their way to make you feel at home.
Being born in Bangor, it holds a special place in my heart. Moving back was a prayer answered. Close to family, being part of a caring business community, and seeing Bangor evolve into a destination place with lots to do makes it just that much more special.

I have personally seen how the businesses in the Bangor region give back to the community. An area that supports community impact is a place where I want to grow a family and a business.
