The Rock Row mixed-use development is bringing 1.5 million square feet of retail, office, and entertainment space to the former Pike Industries quarry site. Westbrook’s historic Dana Warp Mill has been converted into creative office and studio spaces. Manufacturing still plays a role, with specialty food producers and precision machining firms operating in the industrial zones along Bridge Street.

Maine’s Pine Tree Development Zone program can eliminate state income tax on new or expanded business income for up to 10 years in designated areas.
