My brother in law showed me a video of it on Facebook going through Searsport today! Quite the trailer set up they had! I saw a sign at the corner in Waldo saying to seek alternate routes to stay off 131 for the next couple days

Must take a lot of wood chips to feed it.
Is that a softwood mill?

pine mill.  this bio plant is bigger and better than the one they had. as the story goes cmp  bought out the old plant several yrs ago and shut it down. this new one is considered green energy because the left over steam will be used to dry lumber
