Bucksport Maine Today

Explore the chilling transformation of Bucksport, Maine—a once-thriving industrial town now gripped by economic despair and systemic exploitation.

This isn’t just a Bucksport problem; it’s a statewide pattern. From empty storefronts to relentless surveillance, Maine’s local governments are profiting off the people they’ve abandoned. How long will we let this happen?
