Opposition Surfaces To Gibbs Oil Refinery
Organized opposition to the Gibbs Oil refinery proposed for Sanford grows in Kennebunkport and surrounding towns. A special meeting on February 25 will form a steering committee led by Dr. Lyman Page to endorse a policy against the refinery and plan actions including a public education campaign and raising $30,000 to $50,000 to hire an intervener attorney for DEP hearings. Sterling Dow and others urge information on environmental and economic impacts, criticizing Gibbs for radio silence and promising a Maine oriented stance favoring forestry fishing farming and tourism.
