How has Nordic tried to reach out/educate the community about the project?

September 27, 2022

Our team has gone to great lengths to be transparent, inclusive, and comprehensive in our research and sharing results throughout the public process. Nordic conducted multiple public information meetings, met with interested stakeholder groups and residents, and held numerous presentations for local groups.

Our Public Relations and Outreach Manager (a local community liaison), Jacki Cassida, is available to help communicate with and educate the public about the project. Jacki can be reached at jacki.cassida@nordicaquafarms.com.

Will Nordic bring in out-of-the area contractors for construction?

September 27, 2022

Nordic will prioritize and optimize opportunities for local contractors. Nordic is using Gilbane for construction management and general contractor. Nordic and Gilbane will work to  create smaller bid-packages and sub-contracts. The Nordic project is expected to create approximately 250-300 jobs annually during the multi-year construction period.

Nordic expects to offer about 150 full-time jobs with benefits when the facility is fully built out. In addition, there will be many indirect jobs generated in support of the facility (truck drivers, food service, etc.)

Business Development

September 27, 2022

The project will create many ancillary business opportunities for local entrepreneurs. Nordic is committed to working within a circular economic model wherever feasible. The more local the solution, the better the fit it will likely be for our operations, service, and support.

Increased local spending

September 27, 2022

Wages, ancillary spending will result in millions of additional dollars infused into the local economy and local spending on supplies and services will increase during Nordic’s multi-year construction phase.

Educational Development

September 27, 2022

We’ve had opportunities to work with all grade levels with in-classroom and virtual interactive presentations. Nordic is excited to work with the newly launched Marine Institute at Belfast Area High School to introduce information to students about careers in aquaculture, support in-classroom educational programs and more. Nordic staff have been instrumental in connecting with Maine’s colleges and university programs in assisting with the development of RAS-oriented curriculum and career paths. Additionally, to facilitate movement within the company, NAF will be creating on-site career development opportunities for employees.

Why should Nordic Aquafarms care about the environment?

September 27, 2022

Nordic is a farm growing fresh food for customers in the Northeast. We rely on clean water and a healthy environment to grow our fish. The businesses of the future must incorporate both social responsibility and financial objectives to be truly successful in the long-term. Our brand and future certifications are highly sensitive to our environmental stewardship practices.

Investment in environmental technologies demonstrates our dedication to protecting the environment, and why Nordic Aquafarms is supported by serious environmental organizations.  Our production requires clean water to produce high quality fish. We have every incentive to be an environmental steward in Belfast to ensure clean water in the future.
