Aquaponics greenhouse gets OK in Brunswick
The Brunswick Village Review Board approved the new design for the construction of a two-story greenhouse and mixed-use property behind the Asian-fusion restaurant Tao Yuan in Brunswick’s downtown.
The Forecaster reports that the two-story building will house fish tanks in the basement, where the waste byproducts of the tanks will be used to create nitrate-mixed water, which will then be dispersed into the aquaponics greenhouse to assist in the growing of the plants.
Also as part of the mixed-use project, Cara Stadler, who owns Tao Yuan and the Portland-based Bao Bao Dumpling House, will open an 18-seat bakery and café on the first floor of the building, which will also be home to a commercial kitchen and office space, according to The Forecaster.
The project still needs to go before the town’s planning board, which is slated to look over plans on Tuesday. If all goes according to plan, The Forecaster reports that construction will begin later this summer and is expected to take up to 10 months to complete.
