A Crib Sheet of Maine Info You Need to Know — November 19, 2008
The future of Sears Island is making headlines — again. Owned by the State of Maine, the island has been the center of debate among transportation officials, developers and conservationists as each has vied for development rights to the island. Sears Island is located off Searsport and has deepwater harbor access. A legislative committee charged with reviewing proposals for Sears Island approved a plan that would reserve some 600 acres in conservation easements and allow transportation-related development on approximately 330 acres. In the past, the island has been considered for a coal-fired plant and a deepwater cargo port. November 18, 2008: What does Maine have in common with Snoop Dog? Both will be featured on today's episde of The Martha Stewart Show when the daytime domestic diva highlights conservation efforts in Maine and gives kudos to "Saving Maine, An Album of Conservation Success Stories" published by Down East. Maine's community banks and credit unions say they are ready to loan, according to an article published by Forbes.com. Financial leaders met in Augusta Monday with business leaders to help quell concerns that Maine banks are unable to lend in the current financial downturn gripping the nation. Maine ski resorts have begun making snow for the 2008-2009 winter skiing season. Sugarloaf, in Carabassett Valley, hopes to open for the season Friday.
