Authorities approved Norway-based Nordic Aquafarms permit applications for its land-based salmon farm in the rural Maine city of Belfast.
The company's documentation showed sufficient proof for the Department of Environmental Protection to take action on the application.
Gilbane Building Company and Landry French Construction will manage the construction of the 850,000 square-foot facility, which is expected to kick off in 2021.
The permit applications cover the entire project for the Belfast location, including the first phase and future expansions.
Nordic Aquafarms' permit approvals are in the pipeline and the company waits for the green light to start with the construction plans.
