BANGOR DAILY NEWS • November 8, 2020

A proposed salmon farm in Gouldsboro would draw $300 million or more in investment and create “hundreds” of jobs in the area, according to the Norwegian executive behind the proposal. Last month, American Aquafarms reached an agreement with East Coast Seafood to buy the Maine Fair trade Lobster processing plantin the local village of Prospect Harbor, and build a hatchery and processing plant on the 11-acre site. The property was the location of the nation’s last sardine cannery, which closed in 2010 after a century in business.
