Curously there seemed to be more sentiment for the development at the Hallowell meeting which is in south central Maine than there was in the three northern venues.

I haven't had a chance to read all the media articles so I dont know how many people showed up at the Moose River session but there was a total of about 850 people at the other three sites. Greenville 400, Hallowell 300 and Rockwood 150. That is a fair amount of people to show up for a hearing of this type in Maine. There are lots of strong feelings on this one.
