The Edgecomb Planning Board will take a closer look at a proposed oyster processing facility Nov. 15 with a site walk of 637 River Road. Owner Ryan McPherson is looking to expand his Glidden Point Oyster Farm operation on River Road with two proposals.

During the Nov. 6 planning board meeting, McPherson’s application for an oyster processing barn and proposed oyster gear maintenance barn was tabled. Chairman Rebecca Graham said the application was tabled because the “applicant wasn’t ready.”

The second proposal, for an oyster processing facility with associated access drives, parking, loading areas, utilities and storm water management infrastructure, will receive a planning board visit. Nov. 15.  A site plan review is scheduled for 10 a.m. Graham said the board will discuss their  findings at the next scheduled board meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20 in the town hall. 

A public hearing is also scheduled for Nov. 20  to discuss the proposal for 637 River Road. 

The board will also review McPherson's application for an oyster processing and gear maintenance barn at 634 River Road. Later, the planning board will discuss McPherson's application for an oyster processing barn and gear maintenance barn.
