Manage episode 519739459 series 3590907
In Part Two, Owen McCarthy shifts the conversation toward rebuilding opportunity across Maine’s rural communities. He outlines how workforce shortages, access barriers, economic stagnation, and outmigration can be addressed by tapping homegrown talent, expanding entrepreneurship, strengthening infrastructure, and embracing new industries.
He also explains why AI, innovation hubs, life sciences, and micromobility aviation can open the door for rural growth — and how policy changes can help local communities compete and thrive.
