Passamaquoddy Tribe asked to stop development
Wednesday, October 6, 2004
The Passamaquoddy Tribe of Maine is running into opposition for plans to host a liquefied natural gas facility on its Pleasant Point Reservation.
Tribal members voted in favor of the $300 million facility. It would generate revenues and jobs, supporters say.
But a town in Canada doesn't like the idea. The St. Andrews, New Brunswick, council passed a proclamation urging the tribe to reconsider.
The LNG terminal would bring gas from Canada to the reservation then to points south.
