LURC Webcast gives viewers access to plan by Plum Creek
By ALAN CROWELL
Staff Writer Morning Sentinel
On a week when heavy snow closed schools and sent government employees home early, access to watershed hearings on Plum Creek's plan for the Moosehead Lake region is only a few mouse clicks away.
A live audio Webcast of the two public hearings last weekend in Greenville and Augusta marked a first in the Land Use Regulation Commission's history, according to Catherine Carroll, director of LURC.
She expects them to become a regular feature.
"We hope that we can Webcast as many of our future public hearings and meetings as possible," said Carroll, although she said that may not be possible in all locations for technical reasons.
She said the Webcasts are particularly important for the Plum Creek Timber Co. concept plan because of enormous public interest.
Hundreds of people attended hearings in Augusta and Greenville last weekend.
Many more are expected to attend hearings in Portland and Greenville on Dec. 15 and 16, respectively.
