Midcoast residents are fighting to stop a Rockland marina’s expansion

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • January 12, 2022

More than a dozen midcoast residents are fighting against a proposed marina expansion in Rockland Harbor. The Department of Environmental Protection granted Safe Harbor Marinas a permit under the Natural Resources Protection Act last month to allow for the expansion of the company’s Rockland marina. The expansion has faced pushback in Rockland since it was proposed several years ago. The project has since been scaled back, but the group recently appealed the permit, feeling the expansion would ruin the scenic views of the harbor and impede overall access.
