Gravel pit permit renewal draws public criticism
LAMOINE
Comments were heard at the Planning Board’s public hearing Monday night, but no further action was taken regarding the gravel extraction permit application for Harold MacQuinn Inc. to continue operating the Kittredge Pit on Cousin’s Hill off Douglas Highway.
That’s because the applicant, represented by Steve Salsbury of Herrick & Salsbury Inc., an Ellsworth consulting firm, requested that the hearing be postponed until the board’s June meeting when the general contracting company could have its attorney present.
The request got the meeting off to a bit of a tense start.
