Limestone residents voted Tuesday night to approve a tax incentive agreement to help an Aroostook potato chip company bring a $55 million plant to town. Taste of Maine Potato Chip Co. founders Bruce Sargent and Jim Pelkey of Presque Isle announced plans in February to build an 80,000-square-foot potato chip plant at the Loring Commerce Centre. The company will bring about 75 jobs to the area, possibly expanding to 100 as production ramps up. It’s the first Aroostook County venture to join a group of businesses poised to revitalize the former air base.
