Additional Property Attributes

The Site was operated by Portland Gas Light Company (Portland Gas) between 1852 and 1965. During this time, coal was delivered to the Site by ship and rail and then converted into coal gas, which was used for lighting, heating, and cooking purposes. In 1965, Portland Gas ceased operations at the Site, and the manufactured gas plant (MGP) was decommissioned. In 1966, Portland Gas merged with Lewiston Gas Light Company to form Northern Utilities, Inc. (Northern Utilities). The Site was used for natural gas distribution operations as well as by a propane distribution tenant until 2016. The Site was acquired by the State of Maine through eminent domain on April 30, 2014. Ownership was then transferred to the Maine Port Authority on March 11, 2020. The Site is a supporting feature of the adjacent International Marine Terminal (IMT), an intermodal container shipping facility that supports cargo coming and going from the site via rail, ship, or truck. The Site is planned for redevelopment as a state of the art cold logistics facility. This facility will have a footprint of approximately 107,000 square feet, contain space for 21,350 pallets of frozen product, and be finished with one of the largest rooftop solar arrays in the state. The proposed cold storage facility, when operated in cooperation with existing facilities at the neighboring IMT, will satisfy the need for a northern New England refrigerated logistics facility that can support the domestic and international transport and distribution of refrigerated products.
