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.
