“This has been an unusual year, to say the least, for the PCEDC and you folks,” Shea said. He said despite the challenges, the PCEDC still worked to provide an approximate six-time return on investment made in the council and facilitated the awarding of about $540,000 in CDBG funds.

As the past president of PCEDC Tom has given this award to other deserving members of Piscataquis County and now it’s his turn to be on the other side of that handshake. We can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award and we know Pete would be pleased to see Tom Goulette receive this years Myrick Award.
