Maine’s recreational and working heritage in the Unorganized Territory will undergo many unnecessary and harmful changes if the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) proposed by the Land Use Regulation Commission (LURC) staff is adopted.

The process has included the release of several draft sections of the proposed new CLUP, as well as a series of public meetings designed to allow stakeholders and the general public an opportunity to comment on the new plan as it is being developed.

In order to ensure that the new CLUP accurately portrays the role of the forest products industry in Maine’s unorganized territories, the Maine Forest Products Council has undertaken a comprehensive review of each draft section of the CLUP as it has been released to the public.

The document posted in the Newsletters section on the homepage is the summary of MFPC’s remarks, which have been submitted in full to LURC staff and commission members. MFPC hopes that both Council members and related stakeholder groups will take the time to review both the draft sections, which can be found on the LURC website at http://www.maine.gov/doc/lurc/reference/cluprev.html, and MFPC’s comments.

It is critical that LURC hear from those stakeholders who will be most impacted by the CLUP in the years ahead. Please contact MFPC at 622-9288 with any questions.
