As a member of Senator Bill Cohen's staff, Mr. Woodcock handled international trade issues. As Mayor of Bangor, he called for a more regional approach to economic development; a strategy that involved our neighbors in Atlantic Canada and Quebec. Mr. Woodcock has spearheaded efforts to develop a regional, international transportation system and is well-recognized in Atlantic Canada for his efforts. In 2004, he represented the Halifax International Airport Authority in its quest for preclearance authorization from the United States. Through his efforts, the City of Bangor and Bangor International Airport withdrew their opposition, opening the way to U.S. approval. HIAA and BIA initiated regular meetings to coordinate and develop regional market opportunities. He appeared as a panelist on regional economic development at the BorderLines Conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia and, in February of 2003, moderated a BorderLines panel in Washington, D.C. on border security and international trade. U.S. Senator Susan Collins appeared on that panel. In 2002, he received an award from Eastern Maine Development Corporation for his efforts in the "development of a new economic development vision for Eastern and Northern Maine."
