April 1, 2022 — A $16 million grant could go a long way for Maine’s seafood industry.
The multi-billion-dollar industry took a big hit during the pandemic, but a new grant program could help businesses trying to recover while preparing for the future.
This state grant program is for wholesale seafood dealers and processors, which play a vital role in the state’s overall economy.
For some, like Ray Trombley, this money comes at the perfect time. He has big plans for his small seafood business in Brunswick.
“I want a cooler three times the size of this,” Trombley said. “This whole cooler fills up one to two days.”
