Plans to build the world’s tallest flagpole are being delayed — again.

The tiny town of Columbia Falls in Maine is extending its moratorium on big developments for another six months following a proposal for a flagpole taller than the Empire State Building, with an observation deck and a flag larger than a football field. The planned tourist attraction would also have an auditorium, living history museums and a monument.

Town officials said they lacked rules and regulations for such a large project.

MAINE FAMILY LOOKING TO BUILD WORLD'S TALLEST FLAGPOLE, PROJECT RECEIVING BACKLASH FROM LOCALS

The town of 485 residents began grappling with zoning regulations after Morrill Worcester proposed a structure stretching skyward some 1,461 feet. Worcester's family operates a wreath-making company and founded the Wreaths Across America organization, which provides holiday wreaths for military cemeteries.

Columbia Falls residents voted to adopt a six-month moratorium in March to give local officials time to draft regulations. The three-member Select Board voted unanimously Monday evening to continue the moratorium. Town officials are making progress on proposed ordinances during weekly public proceedings, said Jeff Greene, a Select Board member.

"The first 180 days weren’t enough time to polish and complete this," he said.

The Worcester family had no immediate comment on the additional six-month delay.

The proposal for the flagpole is meant to unite people through their love of the flag, recount the story of the U.S. through the eyes of veterans, and create jobs. For the Worcesters, the project was an extension of their patriotic enterprise, which includes producing more than 1 million balsam wreaths for veterans’ grave makers each holiday season.

But instead, it created division in the community. Some residents said the scale of the proposal is so large that it would forever change a rural region known for its rocky coast, woodlands and blueberry barrens.

Brooks Koepka, the polarizing five-time major champion on the LIV Golf tour, was announced as one of the six players selected by United States captain Zach Johnson to participate in the 2023 Ryder Cup.

"I’m honored to represent my country again as a part of this year’s Ryder Cup team, and excited to defend the cup with my teammates in Rome. Let’s go USA!" Koepka, who will play in his fourth Ryder Cup of his career, said in a statement released by LIV Golf. 

Koepka is 6-5-1 in his three Ryder Cups in 2016, 2018 and 2021, which includes two United States victories.

LIV Golf CEO and commissioner Greg Norman also congratulated Koepka on being named to the prestigious squad. 

"Congratulations to Brooks Koepka on a well-deserved honor representing Team USA," Norman said in a statement. "His résumé speaks for itself, and his status among the sport’s fiercest competitors is unquestioned. Brooks’ will to win shines brightest on golf’s biggest stages and it will be exciting to watch him compete in Rome.""

RORY MCILROY SAYS ONE AMERICA LIV GOLFER SHOULD MAKE RYDER CUP BUT NOT ANY EUROPEANS

Koepka will join Johnson’s other captain selections in Sam Burns, Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas on Team USA. The six qualifiers for Team USA were Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Patrick Cantlay, Brian Harman, Max Homa and Xander Schauffele. 

Koepka, then, is the only player on the team who is not a part of the PGA Tour. Of course, golf will be moving to one single entity under the historic merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. 

LIV Golfers like Koepka were still active PGA of America members, as they paid memberships dues prior to June 30, 2022. The PGA of America governing body noted membership would be retained through the end of June 2023 followed by a grace period that expires next June. Therefore, Koepka was eligible to play in the Ryder Cup. 

Koepka's track record in some of the most high pressure situations in golf makes him an easy selection by Johnson. The 33-year-old became the seventh male golfer to secure five major wins before the age of 34 after his 2023 PGA Championship victory. He also finished as runner-up at The Masters this year. 

For Team Europe, Viktor Hovland, the FedEx Cup champion, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton have already qualified based on points. It is expected that Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, Shane Lowry and Justin Rose will make the squad, which is captained by Luke Donald. He will make his captain’s picks on Sept. 4.

It has been quite some time since the U.S. has secured the Ryder Cup overseas. Their last victory in Europe came in 1993 at The Belfry in Warwickshire, England. 

All players will converge on Marco Simon Golf & Country Club in Rome with matches played from Sept. 29-Oct. 1.
