Tariffs Cause Indefinite Pause on $300M Aquaculture Venture in Maine
What happened
A potential $300 million aquaculture venture, Great Northern Salmon, was planned to repurpose the abandoned mill site in Millinocket, Maine. The company, which was backed by Norwegian investors, announced it was pausing indefinitely. The company stated that the pause was due to uncertainty caused by the tariffs of the Trump administration, noting that much of the equipment was intended to be imported from Canada.
