Chambers at odds over Informed Growth Act

UPDATED with more information on the debate

 

The Maine House of Representatives defeated a bill Thursday that would have amended the Informed Growth Act.

The act, passed last year, requires large developers to pay for an impact study prior to building in Maine’s communities.

The bill, sponsored by Sen. David Hastings III, R-Fryeburg, would have allowed communities to opt out of the act. It was defeated 73 to 59. The Maine Senate had passed Hastings’ bill Monday.
