Bar Harbor Businesses Question Management of Acadia National Park

Earlier this week, inn keepers, restauranteurs and other members of the Bar Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce sat down with top officials at Acadia National Park to clear the air. Local business leaders said the tourism season is off to a slow start, due in part, to the park's decision to delay opening up the road to the top of Cadillac Mountain. Acadia officials said budget cuts under sequestration left them no choice. But tourism-dependent businesses said the park should have consulted with them more closely about ways the road could have been opened sooner.
