ROCKPORT — This month, Down East magazine officially launches their new retirement website, retiretomaine.com. The retirement website is a guide for anyone ready to retire, dreaming to someday, or are helping a family member plan for their future here in Maine.

"We're excited to add retiretomaine.com to our portfolio of websites, as retirement is relevant to Maine and its economy," said Lawrence Hollins, Director of Advertising. "As the site grows, we're striving to make it the go-to resource for anyone needing assistance with their relatives or their own future."

Retiretomaine.com hosts the state's most comprehensive listing of retirement communities. The website includes step-by-step financial, healthcare, legal, and insurance resources, along with an in-depth look at Maine real estate via its sister site Mainehomes.com. The site will also host stories about real people living and navigating retirement in Maine.

Editor in chief Kathleen Fleury said of the website launch, "We've provided great retirement information to our readers for years. I'm thrilled that we can share our resources and knowledge on retiring to Maine beyond our print pages. Our hope is that we've made it easier and quicker to retire to the amazing state of Maine."
