WABI Reports: Oil Spill Settlement Funds Stream Crossing UpgradesCHARLESTON, Maine (WABI) - ”The value of each of these crossings is astronomical for a small town.” said Terri-Lynn Hall, chair of the selectboard for the town of Charleston....
Dirigo Timberlands Company, based in Madison, was hired to construct and install the crossings, providing work to more than 20 people. Blaine Miller was on site coordinating the work. "Our company builds approximately seventy or eighty of these types of structures a year." Work started last week and is on track to wrap up next week. The structures are expected to last up to 100 years. “Not only do you get an infrastructure upgrade you get an ecological upgrade along with it.” he said. |
