The state has backed off on plans to build three administrative offices and as many storage barns in the restricted zone of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway after public opposition made it reconsider.
The buildings were proposed for Chamberlain, Churchill Dam, and Michaud Farm ranger stations, Mark DeRoche, the waterway’s superintendent, said in March.
The state had planned to use roughly $1.2 million in American Rescue Plan Act money to build offices and equipment storage within the 500-foot restricted zone.
The proposed changes at three ranger stations in the Allagash Wilderness Waterway have raised opposition from a group including guides led by the waterway’s former superintendent.
