The town of St. George, like many communities along Maine’s coast, has lost much of its working space for fishing and other water-dependent industries. Its once-thriving seafood processing factories have closed, and the number of working docks has fallen from six to two. But now, the midcoast town is close to finishing a nearly-decade long project that should help to preserve what remains of the town’s accessible waterfront. It has been expanding and improving the public landing in the village of Port Clyde that has been in use since the 1960s. When the project is done — likely in June — it will nearly double the existing wharf space and give the landing an expected lifespan of 75 years.
