Plum Creek Submits Response Comment Letter to LURC_
Comments show significant agreement as well as areas that require change

GREENVILLE, Maine — Plum Creek today submitted comments to the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC) on a set of amendments for its Plan for the land it owns in the Moosehead Lake region of the state. The LURC-generated amendments were issued after two days of public hearings in May 2008.

"Plum Creek is pleased that we agree with LURC on the majority of their amendments to the Plan," said Luke Muzzy, project manager for Plum Creek. "However, there are also issues that we need to have clarified and some amendments that are not completely workable. We've always said that we wanted to meet as many interests as possible with this Plan, including Plum Creek's. We are at a point in the process where Plum Creek must inform LURC what is specifically required for the company to move forward with a final Plan." Complete Story
