Comment Period on
Plum Creek Development Proposal Reopened
During deliberative sessions late last month, the
Land Use Regulation Commission staff and commissioners discussed and
agreed to new revisions of the Plum Creek development plan that would
pave the way to approval of the largest development proposal in Maine’s
history (should the Seattle-based corporation agree to them).

A 10 Year Plan for the
Maine Woods
The recent Plum Creek development proposal is just a small piece of what
could happen for major development across the Maine Woods. We need a
strong plan for the protection of Maine’s Forests. The Land Use
Regulation Commission (LURC) is in the process of updating its 1997
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. This plan will guide the management of 10.5
million acres of unorganized forestlands for the next 10 years.
