Coos judge reaffirms Gorham OHRV ruling

GORHAM — Coos County Superior Court Judge Lawrence MacLeod denied a motion to reconsider his decision that allowing OHRV use along the Route 2/Lancaster Road neighborhood in Gorham constitutes an unconstitutional taking of abutters’ property.

Attorney Arthur Cunningham, who represents the plaintiffs, called MacLeod’s rejection of the motion for reconsideration further vindication of his clients’ position. He said his clients are seeking monetary compensation from the town of Gorham and the state for the taking of their property.
