Maine officials may finalize a land use agreement that supporters said would protect part of the state from overdevelopment after concerns about McMansions rising in the area.
Maine officials are close to finalizing a land use agreement that supporters said would protect one of the most rural corners of the country from overdevelopment years after environmentalists raised concerns about McMansions rising in the area.
The proposed planning document would rezone hundreds of acres owned by Weyerhaeuser. The proposal “protects important habitat” and “minimizes interference with natural resource based activities such as forestry, agriculture, and recreation,” the Maine Land Use Planning Commission said in public documents.
Weyerhaeuser sees the project as a chance for the community to map out its economic future, said Chris Fife, a company spokesperson. “Communities like Greenville and Jackman, those are really important to us. Trying to make sure those communities can not only survive but thrive, and we see this process as part of that,” Fife said.
