The Maine Board of Environmental Protection on Thursday denied an appeal by the opponents of Central Maine Power's high-voltage transmission line. But while a win for corridor backers, the board’s decision does not mean that work on the stalled project can resume. Both sides are still waiting for the outcome of court cases that could decide the fate of the $1 billion project. And the NRCM's Nick Bennett said regardless of Thursday's board vote, the project's permit is still suspended by the Department of Environmental Protection until those cases are resolved.
