Auburn, Maine – Today, President Biden will travel to Maine to spotlight how Bidenomics is delivering good paying jobs in the Pine Tree State. Since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, Nyle Systems announced that they had secured $6 million to open a new heat pump water heater factory in Bangor, Maine. The facility is projected to create 200 new jobs and to be operational by the end of summer 2023.
Private companies have invested over $950 million across the state thanks to the Administration’s Investing in America agenda. Furthermore, since President Biden took office, Maine’s unemployment rate has dropped to 2.8%, with 32,000 jobs created across sectors.
