AUGUSTA — The Maine Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) is accepting nominations for the 2016 Governor’s Award for Business Excellence.

“For the past 25 years, the GovernCompanies that have been in business in Maine for five or more years may be nominated or may nominate themselves. DECD strongly encourages businesses of all sizes to apply. Completed nomination forms are available on DECD’s website at www.maine.gov/decd/start-grow/business-excellence, and are due by Friday, July 29.
