With the alarming news about PFAS contamination on Maine farms, the Maine Association of Planners Legislative Policy Committee (MAP LPC) scrambled to put together an informational workshop that also offered some hope against this latest blow to preserving agricultural lands for food production. The workshop was well attended and can be viewed here.
