Following the success of Moving to Maine, author Victoria Doudera presents this revised, updated, and expanded second edition. Here she covers not only all the reasons to move to Maine but also what newcomers will find once they get here. The book answers questions future or recent newcomers might have about what Maine is really like as a place to live. It provides a broad range of information about schools, housing, cultural life, taxes, work and employment opportunities, and even the weather.
The new edition contains updated coverage on population changes and shifts in the cultural mix of Maine's population. There is new material on "virtual" Maine about how the state is on the cutting edge of the digital telecommunications world with its laptops-in-schools initiative. All statistical information is updated. New material is included on housing development and architectural trends as well as what it means to have a non-traditional family in Maine. There is also expanded coverage of media in Maine, including newspapers, magazines, websites, and tips on how to use the Web to do your own research on living in Maine.
