Narrative Summary, Zone Description The Penobscot Valley Pine Tree Zane is one of four enumerated zones in Title 30-A, Chapter 206, Sub -chapter 3. The purpose of the PV PTZ is to street slew investment and create jobs on designated parcels (sub -zones) in the zone. The PV PTZ is being established by a Steering Cannoneer, chaired by ENIDC, representing the local development organisations serving commumdes with sites in the ne. The Steering Commitee will bear, recommend, and make decisions on the development or amendment¢ of the PV PTZ (following rales established by DECD and with significant guidance from the raordcipaldion voth approved parcels in the sone). Penobeccl ValloPT2 Page Preliminary Applk dal & Development Plan January 27, 2004 04-189 Application for Preliminary Designation Sites were selected fm the PV PTZ using the reinceelmmves to the steeting committee. Each representative collected nominations from communities thein organization serves. T'he steernng commiose scored the some and used these scores as guidance innomimting sites. Twenty-eight sites were originally nommalW encompassing over 7,200 acres. E C reviewed these sites, met with the Steering Committee, and assisted in culling the zone to its nominated 20 sub -zones and 4,775 acres. The primmy region affected includes the all of Penobscot County from Sherman to fiampden along the Penobscot River and including Buckspom The region is inclusive of the following Labor Market Areas and is ttigblighted in me map shown: Shaman -Patten, Millinocke[-East Mitilmocket, Lincoln -Howland, Omer Bangor, Bangor, and Bucksport.

However, m some cases financing may be raised in parinasivp with a local otgamthation (e.g. BMA). In such a case leads are limited, first, to the areas saved by (bar financing agency. Ifno site is appropriate for such a lead, EMDC reserves the d9in to "slasm" that lead across the 6county region and, ifno march works, with DECD (saving the entire state). Any leads generated by marketing efforts fiannced by the padcipa ing parties m the PV PTZ will first be shared with the commibuting agencies.
