Jonesport appeals board parses Kingfish permit challenge; vote to uphold planning board decision unanimous
by Nancy Beal
The bookend of a two-day board of appeals meeting, which began on Valentine’s Day, was held February 15 in the community room of Jonesport’s Peabody Memorial Library. The five-member board had spent nearly three hours the previous evening in the town office hearing a three-part challenge to the town planning board’s permit to Kingfish Maine for a fish farm on 94 acres adjacent to Chandler Bay (see Machias Valley News Observer, Feb. 22, 2023).
