NARRAGANSETT — One of the largest producers of sea-frozen seafood on the East Coast has set its sights on the former site of the Point Judith Fishermen’s Cooperative.
A division of Quonset-based Seafreeze Ltd. has entered into a sales agreement to purchase the building at 75 State St. in Galilee that is currently owned by Slavin Point Judith Co.
The expansion would fill one of the port’s largest buildings and bring with it between 50 and 60 new jobs in the commercial fishing sector.
“They are a longtime, well-managed and family-oriented fishing organization,” said Stephen Kenyon, the lawyer representing Seafreeze owners Glen, Kyle and Richard Goodwin.
