AG mulling enforcement against ski resort owner
The state's attorney general continues to probe allegations that the owner of the defunct Moosehead Resort and ski area near Greenville violated timber harvesting restrictions on 7,000 acres of land purchased from the Bureau of Parks and Lands in 1994.
Following attempted negotiations between Mountain Inc. CEO James Confalone and the state's Land Use Planning Commission late last year, the case was referred to the state's top legal authority, according to the Bangor Daily News.
The BDN reported Monday that Attorney General William Schneider is still considering action against Confalone for harvesting on that land, which is adjacent to state-owned property on Big Moose Mountain, where the state's Office of Information Technology has begun work on a communications tower and equipment shelter.
Rodney Folsom, a real estate agent representing Confalone told the BDN in early August that the terms of the deed related to how the land should be used are vague and that the project "just needs an after-the-fact permit."
Brenda Kielty, a spokeswoman for the attorney general's office, told the paper Monday that she had no further details about the next steps for the investigation or possible enforcement action against Mountain Inc.
Last year, Confalone faced challenges and criticism of his management of the resort from Piscataquis County commissioners.
