BANGOR DAILY NEWS • March 10, 2022

A Virginia-based company is trying again to secure the permits it needs for a new granite processing site in Prospect, which has generated local opposition. Salmons Inc. has resubmitted its plans to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection for a $12 million rock crushing site and pier along the Penobscot River. The company wants to build a 50-acre site, where it will crush rock and load the material onto barges.
