Developers behind a massive development project in the Moosehead Lake region halted their plans after they said they failed to come to terms with the property’s owner, James Confalone. The team working to redevelop a partially defunct ski resort in Piscataquis County sent a letter on Wednesday informing Eastern Maine Development Corporation leaders they were not moving forward with the $126.3 million project. The decision plunged into chaos plans for a resort that aimed to reshape the region with hundreds of jobs and a much-needed economic boost to one of Maine’s poorest counties, and comes just two months after the project won a key state permit.
