The Land Use Planning Commission wants to know what people think about the future of the Moosehead Lake region. The state’s planning and zoning authority for the unorganized and de-organized areas of Maine, including townships and plantations, has kicked off the Moosehead Region Planning Project. LUPC is seeking to determine how best to rezone the approximately 17,000 acres that were slated for development under a controversial concept plan unveiled 15 years ago by Plum Creek Timber Co. That plan was terminated by LUPC this summer at the request of real estate investment company Weyerhaeuser, which had purchased Plum Creek in 2016.
