Greg Brown Benefit Concert
Live CD in the Works!
(Release planned for late spring or summer 2008)
Thank you, Greg Brown, for singing for Bald Rock

Internationally acclaimed minstrel-poet Greg Brown performed a benefit
concert for Bald Rock on Thursday, December 6, at the Camden Opera House.

A large crowd attended the event, and many people signed up to join the Bald Rock Community as supporters. They asked to be kept informed about the progress of our legal case against Gridcom and the 190-foot monopole cell tower the company intends to build just below Bald Rock, in the middle of the viewshed. We also received much-needed donations to the legal fund. We thank everyone who helped with or attended the event, and we give a heartfelt thanks to Greg Brown for his generosity and the good spirits and wry words about mindless development in inappropriate places that he contributed to our cause.

Letter to the CEO of National Grid Wireless/Gridcom

Thank you to the 129 people who signed this letter!

See engineer's report on alternatives to this tower...

In a hurry? Here is a summary of the report...


Download our fundraising letter


Bald Rock Community is a citizen group, fundraising to protect the view from Bald Rock Mountain in Lincolnville Maine from a proposed cell phone tower.

(read our fundraising letter for more info)

Points to Consider

• We support improved cell phone service, but not at the expense of a vital scenic resource and our local economy.

• This proposed cell tower will only improve coverage for Unicel customers along a 4-mile stretch of Rt. 1 south of Lincolnville Beach (and a portion of the Bay). Other areas of Lincolnville and Camden will not benefit.

NEW! (click here) See the engineer's report, there are technological alternatives
to this tower.

• The Camden-Rockport-Lincolnville Chamber of Commerce opposes the location of this tower: “Communities through-out the United States have chosen [alternative technology] to help preserve their natural assets. Maintaining the unspoiled beauty of our region is essential to our visitors, our businesses, and our way of life.”

• When local and tourist related businesses thrive, an ongoing economic benefit ripples through-out the state, supporting businesses of all kinds, from auto shops to banks, farms to furniture stores, health services to graphic design.
