Maine’s highest court sides with town of Madison in fight about former paper mill’s valuation

MORNING SENTINEL • July 7, 2021

Maine’s highest court has sided with a local municipality in a years-long dispute over property valuation of a now-closed mill that has cost taxpayers $200,000. In a decision filed Tuesday, Maine’s Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the town of Madison was correct in its valuation of the mill at the time of appraisal. Madison Paper Industries ceased operations in May 2016 with more than 200 jobs lost.
