I do like Eastport, very close to Calais and seems like a lot of property for sale. We are pre-approved for about $350k to buy but don't want to go that high. Job requires me to be within 25mi or 30min. It is a community job, so will probably be involved in that regard no matter where I am.

My biggest worries are housing and internet. Both of those covered and I would be golden.

Thank you though for the insights!!

You’re welcome! Once you get settled it might be beneficial for you to reach out folks at the Whiting MCHT office. They’ve done a lot to help the fishing communities in the area. They helped the town of Cutler to buy a piece of land ensuring clammers would have access to a critical flat for in perpetuity. They could give you some great advice starting out and is someone you’ll most likely work with eventually. Also, if you settle in Eastport reach out to Sipayik Environmental, some truly great people and have done a lot of successful work in collaboration with other nonprofits in the area.
