ReGenerate Livermore Falls was recognized recently by the Jay, Livermore, Livermore Falls Chamber of Commerce as the Business of the Year.

The award was given at the Chamber’s Annual Meeting on January 20, 2024 at the VFW Hall in Jay.

The Chamber invites members of the community to vote for a Chamber business that has positively impacted the Jay, Livermore, and Livermore Falls communities. According to the Chamber, positive impacts include such things as supporting employees in volunteerism, adding jobs within the community, and making monetary contributions that advance the area’s future.

“We are so proud to have achieved this award,” said Facility Manager Scott Folnsbee. “We make a deliberate effort, every year, to be a strong corporate citizen in Androscoggin County. Above all else, we prioritize safety, health and environmental compliance. We also have a robust program to invest in our local community. We host school groups for tours, and we sponsor many community activities and youth programs.”
