By a 3-3 vote, Bucksport’s town council killed a proposal from a private company to build a solar farm on land formerly owned by Verso Paper. The site, which used to be a farm, was never developed by Verso. But under Bucksport’s zoning, power generation is not an allowed use at that property. Most of the former mill property is expected to be redeveloped by aquaculture firm Whole Oceans into a land-based salmon farm, but when construction of the facility will begin has not been decided.
