Farmington supports opposition to national wildlife refuge

LIVERMORE FALLS ADVERTISER • October 5, 2023

Farmington Selectmen on Sept. 26 voted to support a letter coming out against the national wildlife refuge being proposed in northern Franklin County. Commissioner Bob Carlton of Freeman Township, former state senator Tom Saviello [R] of Wilton, Tom Cote of Farmington and others got together to “oppose this top down approach.“ Maine’s congressional delegation has written to USFWS stating Maine will work on something on its own, Saviello said. Gov. Janet Mills [D] is also against it.
