Jonesport weighs 30‑month extension for Kingfish aquaculture project

Jonesport is considering a 30-month extension to allow Kingfish Aquaculture more time to start construction on its Chandler Bay facility. The town has set a July 8 hearing to discuss zoning changes that would facilitate this. This move is crucial as it could significantly impact the local economy through job creation and business development. However, it also raises concerns about environmental sustainability and the long-term viability of the aquaculture project. The decision will likely shape the community's future for years to come.
