It looks like the Balsams resort owners elected to bypass the 2.2 million dollar offer from the Northern pass project and for 850.00 allowed 5800 acres around the resort hotel to be put into conservation. For now this effectively blocks the path for the northern pass project. More proof that NH residents do not want N-star putting up towers thru the north country.
Maybe they will be forced to bury the lines after all.
