GREENVILLE (AP) – A Plum Creek official planned to meet one-on-one with Greenville officials to shore up support for a major development in Maine’s North Woods.

The town’s Board of Selectmen surprised Plum Creek late last week by rescinding its endorsement of the project around Moosehead Lake. For now, the panel is taking no stance.

Daniel McLaughlin, a recently elected member of the Board of Selectmen who asked for the reconsideration, said Monday that the action doesn’t mean the board or town officials are opposed to the plan. But, he said, a majority of the board decided it was too early to take a position and regretted a December vote to endorse it.

“Let’s go neutral on this and let the process happen,” he said.

Plum Creek wants to rezone 426,000 acres and develop about 10,000 acres.

The rezoning would allow for 975 house lots, two resorts, three recreational-vehicle parks, a golf course, a marina and rental cabins on forested land that Plum Creek now owns.

The Land Use Regulation Commission is preparing to review the company’s application and is holding a series of “scoping sessions” to get input on what Mainers think of the proposal.

Plum Creek officials have touted the endorsement from Greenville officials, using it as an example of local support for a proposal the company says will bring growth to a struggling regional economy.

Jim Lehner, Plum Creek’s regional general manager, said Monday he still believes there is broad support for the plan in Greenville, despite the Board of Selectmen’s decision.

“We certainly understand that the Greenville selectmen really don’t want to take a position,” Lehner said. “It makes sense that the town officials want to listen to all points of view.”
