Lepage and Alward Speak At Cross Border Forum

If a packed Lily Lake Pavilion is any indication..the first International Exchange forum is a success.
 

The event today bringing together Maine Governor Paul Lepage and Premier David Alward to discuss their cross border relationship and how it can be expanded.
 

Alward tells CHSJ News this type of event brings business and community leaders together.

He says the reality is that they have much more in common that they have differences and the days of jurisdictions thinking of themselves as an island are long gone.

Alward and Lepage both agree on the need for both countries to work on remaining competitive because other countries like China are hungrier for that business dollar than we are.
