Worcester’s family owns the nearby Eastern Maine Recycling transfer station and a six-acre landfill that abuts Worcester’s proposed 12-lot Trundy Farm subdivision on the Long Pond Road. “Isn’t the point there to make sure that we’re protecting the public, and we’re talking about pollution?” board member Charlotte Gill asked. Board member Priscilla Ksionzyk said, “We need to protect our town.”“I just think that it’s common sense to proceed with caution,” Gill said. However, this site’s location next to the Worcester landfill has sparked concerns. Both Planning Board members Michael Levesque and Worcester declared a conflict of interest on the EMR final plan for that 12-lot subdivision.
