WINDHAM,
Maine (AP) _ An Arundel businessman has proposed building a 37-acre
complex of greenhouses in Windham that would create about 170 jobs.
John der Kinderen says the business would raise hydroponic vegetables and fish to sell to food distributors throughout the Northeast. He hopes to start construction this spring and begin operations by the end of the year. The Portland Press Herald reports that Der Kinderen has been working with Windham officials, and the board could hold extra meetings to expedite the permitting process. He told the planning board the 1.6 million square feet of greenhouses would be powered by natural gas engines, and waste would be processed by a bioreactor and turned into fertilizer. |
