About Us

With a population of just over 17,000 individuals in an area the size of Connecticut, Piscataquis County is poised for a transformative future.
Inspired by the principle of “Pay It Forward,” the Piscataquis Forward team is committed to collaborating with residents, businesses, and municipalities throughout Piscataquis County to foster a cohesive, economically robust, educationally resilient, and socially connected community that empowers individuals and promotes positive change.
The goal of Piscataquis Forward is to generate a positive impact and create a more prosperous future for all. Together, we can achieve this vision.
