BUCKSPORT (NEWS CENTER Maine) -- A Maine-based company is building a state-of-the-art, sustainably farm-raised Atlantic salmon facility in Bucksport.
Whole Oceans will raise Atlantic salmon on the site of the former Verso paper mill, according to an announcement released Thursday. At full production, they say, the company will create hundreds of direct jobs and invest more than $250 million in Bucksport.
Whole Oceans’ CEO Rob Piasio says while growing up in Yarmouth, Maine, he had planned to one day help his state grow and prosper.
The company has already pre-sold 100 percent of production for the next 10 years.
