Update on Office Access and Business Hours

Since the government shutdown on October 1st, 2025, our office inside the USDA building in Ellsworth has been closed to our staff and the public. We have been maintaining our regular business hours but only through remote access. But, thanks to Tracy Scheckel of TS2 Consulting, the Union River Innovation Center, and the City of Ellsworth, we now have a temporary office space to provide public access until the USDA building is opened back up. It’s an easy-to-find location, right next to Ellsworth Harbor Park.

New Office Information:

• Address: Union River Innovation Center, 415 Water Street in Ellsworth, Maine

• Phone: Our phone number remains 207-667-8663

• TEMPORARY IN-PERSON OFFICE HOURS:

  • Monday: 9am-2pm

  • Friday: 12pm-5pm

  REMOTE ONLY AVAILABILITY (phone/email only):

  • Wednesday: 9am-2pm

  • By appointment

When you visit, look for the blueprint sign inside the doorway directing you to our office.

Thanks to our community for their patience while we work out a solution, and many thanks to Tracy for offering to share her office, and to the Union River Innovation Center and the City of Ellsworth for supporting these arrangements. We're happy to continue serving our community with minimal disruption to our regular schedule.
