UMaine Economics Study Cited in BDN Article on Proposed National Park
A University of Maine economics study was mentioned in a Bangor Daily News article about Lucas St. Clair, the son of environmentalist and entrepreneur Roxanne Quimby, speaking at a Lincoln Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce meeting. While St. Clair spoke about his efforts to create a North Woods national park and multi-use recreation area, he cited a UMaine study that found if he turned the 150,000-acre area over to the logging industry it would produce 53 jobs. St. Clair said he wants to do more for the region and said a national park has the potential to create up to 400 to 600 jobs.
