Jonesport board of appeals inks Kingfish decision; denial of Protect Downeast challenge official
by Nancy Beal
After nearly three and a half years, multiple informational sessions, eight formal appearances before the Jonesport planning board, and three sessions with the town’s board of appeals, Kingfish Maine has finally gotten the green light from the town to build a $100 million land-based fish farm on 94 acres adjacent to Chandler Bay. The final chapter was a written decision by the appeals board inked in the town office March 7, upholding the planning board’s award of a building permit to the aquaculture firm last November.
