FRYEBURG, Maine — If Fryeburg residents don't let selectmen to sell land at Eastern Slope Regional Airport to Nestle Waters North America, the company won't bring a Poland Spring bottling plant to town.
So said Town Manager Sharon Jackson at last Thursday's public hearings regarding a pair of warrant articles that will be voted on during a special town meeting Oct. 12.

Don't let Nestle ruin Fryburg. Do your research. They rape communities of water. There was a recent article in WSJ or elsewhere on how they treat host communities.
