LURC will hold a public hearing on Sept. 22nd at Lee Academy to discuss First Wind's petition to add Kossuth Twp to the 'Expedited Wind Zone' and expand the Bowers Mountain Project to include Kossuth. This is our chance to let them know how we feel about First Wind's arrogant expansion. We want to see a huge turnout for this hearing. It will impress the LURC commissioners (some of whom are on the fence) and communicate clearly that We, the People, will not stand for it! Please mark that date on your calendar. We will post additional information here as it becomes available.

Our Mission
The Partnership for the Preservation of the Downeast Lakes Watershed is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the long-term preservation of Maine's Downeast Lakes Watershed through conservation, environmental action and opposition to inappropriate industrial or commercial development.
The industrial wind energy project being planned for Bowers Mountain in Carroll Plantation by First Wind is a monumental threat to the Downeast Lakes Watershed, the local economy and our quality of life. We are therefore currently devoting all of our energy to educating the public and stopping the Bowers Mtn Project. We are not opposed to wind-generated energy when it is sited intelligently and joining PPDLW in its struggle to save Bowers Mountain, does not make you anti-wind.
