"The current economic downtown continues to have a harsh, negative effect on the number of new homes being built in Maine and around the country. We are saddened to learn that nearly 170 people who work at Wood Structures' facilities in Biddeford and Saco will lose their jobs through no fault of their own when the company closes as a result of the poor economy. Staff members in our York County offices are reaching out to state and local officials and we stand ready to try to assist these affected workers with any federal help that might be available as they seek to find gainful employment.
