Media Advisory: Governor LePage to Attend Ecoshel Jobs Announcement in Ashland

The LePage Administration will help celebrate the opening of Ecoshel’s Smart Shingle Production facility in Ashland on Thursday, October 2.

“Ecoshel is quickly ramping up operations and this is great news for the people of Aroostook County,” said Governor Paul R. LePage. “The new operation signifies a real transition in Maine’s forest products-based economy. This new facility will help establish Maine as a destination for raw material from outside the state where it can be successfully manufactured and sold.”

Once fully operational the Ecoshel facility is expected to employ about 80 people and lead to the creation of a significant number of indirect jobs throughout the region.

Members of the media are encouraged to attend the event.

WHEN: 9:00 a.m., Thursday, October 2

WHERE: 126 Clark Siding Rd., Ashland
