The construction of a modern cold storage warehouse on the Portland waterfront would bring unprecedented benefits to farmers and food producers throughout Maine. The proposed facility would address a critical shortage of warehouse space in the state and lower the cost of storing perishable Maine products, including fruit, vegetables, seafood, and meat.

The warehouse would be in best possible place for swiftly and efficiently moving Maine refrigerated cargo to domestic and international markets. The proposed waterfront location is an answer to the needs of many of Maine’s food producers.
