Belfast city councilors did not hold back this week in sharing their frustrations about the past actions of the Maine chapter of the Sierra Club regarding the controversial Nordic Aquafarms' proposed land-based salmon farm that city officials have whole-heartedly supported. But after expressing their concerns at their Tuesday meeting, councilors voted unanimously to support a new community resilience partnership with the environmental group. The Belfast Climate Crisis Committee asked councilors to consider the agreement, which will make the city eligible for community action grants to reduce carbon emissions, transition to clean energy and become more resilient to extreme weather and sea level rise from climate change.
