BANGOR — Eaton Peabody Consulting Group recently added former Bucksport Town Manager Roger Raymond to its group of economic development and municipal consultants.

“Roger brings exceptional experience to the Eaton Peabody Consulting Group,” said Managing Director John Melrose. “Roger is well known and recognized widely for his extraordinary financial skills and forward-looking strategies.”

“I am very excited to join such a well-respected Maine organization such as the Eaton Peabody Consulting Group,” Raymond said. “They provide a natural fit for the next stage of my career.”

Raymond’s experience includes his long tenure as town manager in Bucksport.

Among Raymond’s accomplishments in Bucksport is the town’s riverfront walkway.

“The waterfront development is right up there among my proudest moments,” Raymond said.

A new treatment plant and sewage systems to stop wastewater from flowing into the Penobscot River were also built on Raymond’s watch.
