U.S. Senators Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins (R-ME) released the following statement in response to the announcement that Burlington Homes will be immediately suspending their operations after 14 years of manufacturing homes in Oxford:
“It is extremely unfortunate that after 14 years in Oxford, Burlington Homes has decided to close its doors. We now have an obligation to help all of the workers adversely affected by these layoffs. We will do everything in our power to ensure that these employees have access to the federal assistance they need to overcome these challenging times.”
