MAINE PUBLIC • December 13, 2023
State officials are deliberating on a rezoning request that would allow for a metallic mineral mine in northern Penobscot County. The Land Use Planning Commission discussed the request from Ontario-based Wolfden Resources at a meeting this morning. After several days of hearings on the issue in October, it's the first time commissioners have debated the issue. Several members say they are concerned about environmental impacts from the mine, especially given the history of the industry.
