NRCM Blasts Plum Creek Plan

NRCM Executive Director Brownie Carson says that the world has changed enormously in the past year, making Plum Creek’s massive development proposal for Moosehead Lake seem like nothing but land speculation.

At a press conference before a final session of Maine’s Land Use Regulation Commission, Carson said “We are urging the Commission in the strongest possible terms to pause, reconsider, and restructure Plum Creek’s massive proposal into a much smaller development concentrated near existing communities.”

“This plan makes no sense given the collapse of our economy and the direction we need to go as a society to control energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” added Carson
