The state of Maine this week announced plans to build an offshore wind manufacturing facility on Sears Island – breaking its promise to Maine residents. In 2007, the state promised to choose Mack Point as the preferred location for future marine transportation development. Sadly, Islesboro Islands Trust has no choice now but to intervene using every legal means available. The Trust supports offshore wind but affirms that the offshore wind manufacturing facility should be built at Mack Point. ~ Steve Miller, Islesboro Islands Trust Executive Director
