The move is aimed at expanding interest in the resort beyond winter sports and to build relationships with homeowners in Oquossoc and Rangeley, said Warren Cook, general manager of Saddleback Maine.

Full-time and seasonal staff is expected to grow by about 15 percent and to stimulate job growth throughout Franklin County, Cook said.
