I wouldn’t exactly say it’s the middle of nowhere. Yeah it’s a lot less dense but there’s literally a highway there, it’s not like we’re sticking this in the middle of the woods through a dirt road on top of a mountain.

If it really was the middle of nowhere, they wouldn’t of built the highway

North of Bangor is one of the most sparsely populated places East of the Mississippi.

Yet, they still build a highway there, that highway is maintained and it’s still easily accessible

Seriously, I work for a construction company and we often drive all the way from Portland to Sunday river for projects. We need to go to that neighborhood at least 20 times a year. Bangor to Holton is 118 miles. If you hire one maintenance worker in Holden, and one maintenance worker in Bangor, you don’t even need to put a guy in Millinocket.

Not an issue

You think it's efficient use of state resources to doing that instead of a farm setup like the private sector does? Come on... this idea isn't even fully formed.
