Residents must approve waste water deal for Prime Tanning purchase to go ahead

09/02/2011
The proposed purchase of the Prime Tanning tannery in Hartland, Maine, could depend on the town’s residents accepting a higher rate of local tax, media in that region of the US have reported.

Residents have been invited to a town meeting in on February 12 to discuss a proposal from prospective buyer, Tasman Industries that use of the town’s wastewater treatment by the tannery should be on a cost-share basis.

Reports have suggested this would lead to a small increase in local property taxes, but that the deal to buy the Prime Tanning site as a going concern would be almost certain to go ahead if residents accept the deal. The tannery is the town’s most important employer, with 170 people working there.
