The public will have a chance to weigh in on the proposed year-round ski resort in Piscataquis County — potentially influencing the next steps of the project — during a hearing on June 7. The proposed $113.5 million redevelopment project on Big Moose Mountain has been a long time coming for the developer, Perry Williams of Big Lake Development LLC, and has captured the attention of Piscataquis residents and Mainers across the state. Williams has said he needs the application approved before he can purchase the ski resort property, owned by James Confalone of Florida, because permitting affects the value of the property. Plans for the first phase of the project include a new chairlift, zipline, base ski lodge, 60-room hotel, brew house and other features.
