Since Main-Land spoke at our final forum on our concerns about the proposed changes to the Site Location of Development Law, the bill has been given an LD number (LD 1268: An Act To Update the Site Location of Development Laws) and sent to the Legislature's Natural Resources Committee.
It's there LD 1268 will be given a public hearing on Tuesday, April 14 at 1 p.m. in Room 214 of the Cross Building. Now more than ever, we must be proactive in preventing this limiting legislation from being passed into law. We hope you can attend this hearing and let the committee know what impact this will have on you and your community. Main-Land hopes to help pack this public hearing with those speaking out against the bill and by doing so, send a strong message to Augusta that if these new initiatives are implemented, development in Maine will come to a standstill at a time when we need it most. As we see it, this is not just an issue that should concern Maine's land developers or contractors or town planners, but every single resident who cares about the future viability of our great state.
If you are unable to attend the hearing on April 14, I encourage you to write a letter to your local Legislator and let them know LD 1268 cannot move forward as currently written. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Bob Duchesne (D- Hudson) who can be reached at RepRobert.Duchesne@legislature.maine.gov or at (207) 827-3782 and co-sponsored by Tom Saviello (U-Wilton), who can be reached at RepThomas.Saviello@legislature.maine.gov or (207) 645-3420.
