Member of the Governor's Advisory Council on the Sustainability of the Forest
Products Industry in Maine
Preti Flaherty attorney Anthony Buxton has been appointed as a member of the
newly formed Governor's Advisory Council on the Sustainability of the Forest
Products Industry in Maine. The council, made up of eleven representatives of
business, industry and government was created by executive order. "The Advisory
Council will collect information from businesses, landowners, Indian tribal
governments and government agencies to formulate strategies that will improve
timber supply, capital investments, transportation, research and technology, and
the workforce infrastructure while promoting sustainable forest management,"
Baldacci said. He called Buxton one "of the best minds in the State."
"This appointment makes clear how well respected Tony is throughout the
state. He will bring invaluable insight to the council and its report in August
will be stronger for his contributions," said Preti Flaherty managing partner
Harold Pachios. The Council will submit recommendations to improve the
competitiveness of Maine's forest products industry to the Governor by August
31.
