In 2009, there was a huge pot bust in Washington County. Then just last week, federal prosecutors in Maine said that they may seize most of Township 37. There is additional land in surrounding townships that may also be seized, pending the outcome of this case.
About 5 miles of this land goes along the Stud Mill Road, and lies dead on the proposed East-West Corridor route.
