Business
In Sanford’s Central Park stands a bronze statue of Thomas Goodall. The textile giant helped establish Sanford as one of the most prosperous communities in Maine and the US during the Industrial Revolution. Though Goodall’s manufacturing empire declined, the values he helped instill here remain – the importance of community, hard work, and ingenuity. Today, with these values in mind, Sanford is in the midst of a revival: investing and partnering in significant, innovative projects to benefit businesses and the broader community.
