how the roadmap
will be developed
The planning effort for The Roadmap will include extensive outreach to stakeholders as well as data collection and global benchmarking. This work is intended to complement related past and present planning efforts in the state, with a singular focus on the outdoor recreation industry. Just as expansive as Maine’s natural beauty is the state’s wide array of voices. We want to hear from all of them.
