Residents fear Moosehead region could ‘become Bar Harbor’ with new ski resort

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • February 7, 2022

Neighbors of a proposed $113.5 million year-round ski resort in Piscataquis County want their concerns about the project addressed before the development goes any further. To that end, the Maine Land Use Planning Commission could decide next week whether there will be a public hearing on the Moosehead region proposal, further delaying a project started more than three years ago. Supporters of the project see a sizable boost for the economically depressed county by increasing year-round employment and attracting more people to the area who may start businesses of their own.
