Nordic Aquafarms has entered into an agreement with Belfast window manufacturer Mathews Brothers for the purchase of approximately 14 acres of land that adjoin the 40 acres it has already acquired to build a massive salmon farm in Maine, the Republican Journal reports.

The news site reports that Nordic Aquafarms CEO Erik Heim said the primary motivation for purchasing the additional land is to enable larger buffers around the site, which has received pushback from residents in Belfast, Maine.
