BANGOR DAILY NEWS • August 22, 2022

Construction on the future Maine International Cold Storage Facility is expected to ramp up substantially by October and the facility is scheduled to open in February 2024. With the new facility, European cargo shippers who would otherwise have to temporarily store food in Boston can deliver it here. It will have capacity for about 22,000 pallets. It will have an estimated economic impact of $500 million to $900 million each year.
