If time is money, the long-delayed work on Sinclair Development Corporation’s self-storage facility on Dublin Street, Machias, must have cost owner Randy Sinclair a fortune in lost revenue and legal fees. 

Halted for the past nine months following the discovery of numerous critical violations to the permit originally approved by the town’s planning board on March 1, 2023, Sinclair received the planning board’s blessing on Aug. 6 to resume work on the storage facility.
