There is so much to talk about regarding FST’s development. We are moving our shop to a larger space, training is wrapping up, and the busy season is underway!
This week was marked by completing ongoing projects, addressing maintenance issues, and preparing for new endeavors.

An event for reflection and appreciation of the Frazier Signals Technology Team and their hard work over the past year.
On Friday, April 18th, 2024 Frazier Signals Technologies held its annual business meeting and appreciation gathering. The event was held at Kanu in Old Town. Just a few feet from FST’s inaugural large traffic project.
The business meeting and the appreciation of the employees who made this growth possible might be best summed up by Al Pacino…
“You find out life’s this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small — I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, and you don’t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second…. On this team, we fight for that inch….Because WE know when we add up all those inches, that’s going to make the difference between winning and losing!”
— Al Pacino (Any Given Sunday, 1999)
Although a bit dramatic, that was the atmosphere as we spent time with everyone at the event and reflected on the unexpected challenges and triumphs of the past year.
The event was bittersweet as we acknowledged the hard work of a retiring employee and welcomed the new projects and aspirations of the 2024 year. Take care Jeff Lapointe and thank you for inspiring us as we continue to grow!

These are the good days and the good times thank you all for being a part of them!
This week was a busy one, to say the least, with several large projects moving forward and several emergency calls to handle.
One noteworthy event occurred in Damariscotta just before the snowfall. A vehicle struck a traffic signal, causing damage to the signal, strobe light, and tether wire.
The A&A (Andy and Andrew) team swiftly installed a temporary signal, replaced the strobe light, and fixed the tether wire.
If such a situation occurs in your town, remember that Frazier Signal Technologies is available 24 / 7 to provide fast and reliable service for all your roadside electrical and traffic needs.
Maine-based Frazier Signal Technologies (“Frazier Signals”) today announced it has completed its business formation, closed financing and its capital funding effort, and has begun operations as of August 1, 2022.
Frazier Signals, founded by engineer and entrepreneur Lynn Frazier, PE PTOE, launched to provide critical traffic signal installation, maintenance and repair services in and around Maine and Northern New England. Responding to the strong demand and stated needs of Maine Department of Transportation and many Maine communities, Frazier Signals has entered into long-term service contracts with multiple infrastructure asset owners around the state.
Lynn Frazier, PE PTOE, President/CEO of Frazier Signal Technologies.
“We saw a need for this critical service and knew we had the requisite skills and competencies to help communities, many of whom cannot support their own service divisions,” said Frazier, in her role as the company’s President and CEO. “It’s a front-line public safety issue, and something most people don’t think of until something goes wrong. A spirit of public service drives us.”
Frazier Signals is a woman-owned business with business service support from affiliate Treadwell Franklin Infrastructure Capital LLC (“TFIC”). Frazier Signals’ capabilities include routine maintenance and emergency repair of signals, new or replacement intersection installations, solar powered roadside signing, troubleshooting and optimization services including full engineering studies with the support of sister-company Sewall. The company maintains its fleet of repair vehicles and supply inventories in its home facility in Veazie, Maine. Initial operations have focused on Northern, Central and Mid-Coast Maine; however, Frazier Signals reports significant demand coming from around the state and from municipalities and state agencies in New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts.
