I have not seen one shovel since the media day with Mills...

Eimskip is adding a 4th vessel to the Green Line, which means more calls in Portland and an increasing available capacity on the North America-Iceland trade lane by 25%

The article again mentions imminent construction of the Cold Storage warehouse...but as has been mentioned here and elsewhere...There's still no clear sign of site work

Yeah, they say they broke ground in August. Why do they keep "reporting" this?

 

[PWMFlyer]

Site work starting this week. Construction site trailer was dropped off this morning.

Great. A 2029 completion date?

Eimskip is not not busy.

Is there any actual construction happening on the cold storage facility yet?

 

[matt.greeson]

I've seen no evidence.

 

[Portlander]

Matt, is that your graffiti tag on the lower portion of the bridge? We're keeping an eye out on your whereabouts!

This happens M-F around 1pm. The teamsters need to have their lunch.

After scrutinizing the aerial photos that Maine Imaging took a few days ago there are no signs of activity at the cold storage facility site, only a lonely trailer.

I guess some people consider that "construction commencement"

Did anyone look real close? Maybe it isn't a construction trailer, they've just had to downsize the project.

I heard they got a good Black Friday deal on one of those 15 cu. ft chest freezers at Home Depot... so they're just going to go with that.

I heard the contractor is a combo of the teams behind the Shipyard and Congress Square projects. They've promised to have it finished by 2027 barring any unforeseen problems like rain, snow or really big rocks.

Congress Square is going perfectly too - no delays in sight on that one!

I note they left out the chance there might be dirt in the way.
