A last-minute effort by opponents of selling a shuttered Hampden trash plant to a Pennsylvania company with a history of misrepresentation has failed. The Bar Harbor Town Council was the only one of the Municipal Review Committee’s 115 member communities that asked for a meeting of all of the agency’s members in an effort to learn more about the Pennsylvania company, Delta Thermo Energy. MRC Executive Director Michael Carroll said the committee “has been negotiating vigorously with the bondholders and the buyer on behalf of its members, and we are satisfied that the transaction structure, material items, and fundamental matters are all in line with the best interests of MRC members.”
