BANGOR DAILY NEWS • March 20, 2024

The owner of a Hermon-based solar company said he is “working on resolutions” after a lucrative contract to install a solar array at the Knox County Regional Airport in Owl’s Head was canceled on Friday. “I can’t really say what’s going on,” Michael Griggs, owner of Pine Tree Solar, said. The $1.23 million contract was unanimously approved in February 2023 by the Knox County commissioners and was to have been completed by December 2023.
