KATAHDIN SALMON TO ANCHOR ONE NORTH AQUACULTURE CAMPUS – ACTIVELY RECRUITING ADDITIONAL AQUACULTURE TENANTS
Katahdin Salmon of Portland, Maine, and Our Katahdin/One North have signed a lease for industrial-zoned land within the site. Katahdin Salmon plans to develop a land-based recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) that will produce 5000 metric tons of Atlantic salmon in the first operational phase and another 5000 metric tons in phase two of the buildout. The (RAS) facility will supply fresh Atlantic salmon to the northeastern US. The project is expected to create 80, full-time local jobs at full production capacity. Complementary aquaculture-related businesses are also being recruited to co-locate on the campus.
