Maine lumber industry sees softwood center in Northeast
In Orono Maine industry officials told a state forest products hearing that demand for forest products will rise sharply in the next decade and Maine could become the Northeast hub for softwood production. U S Forest Service economist Dwight Hare warned demand may exceed supply by 2000 with pulp and paper likely to bid highest. Canada holds half the forest products bound for the U S and European demand adds pressure. The legislature ordered the forestry study panel to report in January with another hearing planned for August.
