PORTLAND — Richmond-based Shucks Maine Lobster could soon be processing seafood on the city's working waterfront.
The company wants to lease nearly 19,000 square feet of space in the city-owned Portland Ocean Terminal on the Maine State Pier.
The City Council's Housing and Community Development Committee unanimously recommended the proposed 15-year lease Wednesday. The council is expected to consider the lease agreement July 15.
"It really is creating a hub of activity here in Portland that starts to brand us," said Greg Mitchell, the city's economic development director. "It's identifying and reinforcing our working waterfront and creating jobs."
