After placing a moratorium on “glampgrounds” to stop the construction of more than 100 fancy geodesic camping domes, the town of Lamoine is poised to vote on whether to ban such projects permanently. The vote will be held at the town’s annual meeting, 6 p.m., March 31, at the Lamoine Consolidated School gym. CPEX LLC, which operates Clear Sky Resorts in Arizona, submitted a proposal in January 2023 to erect 103 domed luxury cabins on 12 acres of a 230-acre parcel. Sweeping reactive bans on ambitious development plans are not uncommon in Maine. Most recently, the town of Bradford temporarily banned campgrounds and several other types of shelter to stop a nonprofit from building a rural commune for homeless people.
