📰 News we're reading

• In Greenville, proposed change to moose hunting causes divide (pressherald.com) — A proposed extra week of moose hunting near Moosehead Lake could significantly affect Greenville's fall tourism businesses that rely on live moose sightings and foliage visitors. Local guides, innkeepers, and economic leaders are pushing back, arguing that shifting the hunt into peak foliage season risks undercutting Greenville's carefully built reputation as a wildlife-watching destination and could shorten operating seasons for key hospitality businesses.
   

• Dover-Foxcroft Select Board approves condemnation order for submerged river lot (observer-me.com) — Piscataquis County's proposed 2027 budget would significantly raise the share paid by high-valuation towns like Greenville and Dover-Foxcroft, which together now cover more than a quarter of county costs. Dover-Foxcroft officials are weighing how to respond to rising county expenses tied partly to law enforcement contracts, while also planning dam-removal steps and shifting select board meeting dates that may interest Greenville residents following regional decisions.
