  • Nestled on the scenic coast of Mount Desert Island, Southwest Harbor is a distinctive gateway for industrial and commercial ventures in Maine. Its location offers direct access to deepwater ports, essential for maritime industries, boatbuilding, and logistics operations. The town is connected by State Route 102 and is within reach of Bangor International Airport, making it viable for both regional distribution and skilled workforce attraction.
