Isn’t it about “profit stake” on all sides? For LLEG and their investors it’s about financial gain. For Berlin residents on either side of the issue it’s about the direction of their community. They have the most at stake IMO. And will ultimately pay the price either way. Concord is aware of the opposing views in Berlin. And (unfortunately) will once again make the final decision about Berlin’s future, for the residents of Berlin. But certainly not without Berlins input. If the final outcome in LLEG’s favor were a forgone conclusion, as some believe, Concord would have already let Berlin know by now IMO. Given that, and what I know about those who oppose biomass on the mill site, (which goes well beyond Jon, Katie and the Mayor and Council, and includes many well respected residents and business leaders) I would say this is still far from a done deal. Laidlaw has shown their hand. Now it’s time to see Berlin’s and Concord’s. Don’t blink. IMO For whatever its worth. GLTA
