Continuing to set a very high standard for the timber resources industry, the Huber Resources Corporation of Old Town has donated 143 acres of land to Baxter State Park. Governor Percival Baxter had hoped, in setting up the park that bears his name, that businesses might at some time make land donations to the people of Maine as he had done. Now the Huber Corporation, which is one of the largest family-owned corporations in the U.S., has taken the lead by making this first gift. The Baxter State Park Authority accepted the donation at a ceremony in the Hall of Flags in the Capitol building in Augusta on Thursday, January 12, 2012. Park Director Bissell was immediately charged to create a management plan for the parcel within the year.
