Assembly votes to let state buy land for fish waste processing

SITKA -- The Sitka Assembly has voted to sell land to a state agency for construction of an $8 million fish-waste processing plant.

The Sitka Sentinel reported the Assembly authorized the sale of 26,250 square feet at the Sawmill Cove Industrial Park to the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority. That state agency hasn't formally agreed to the deal.

The authority is working with Sitka Meal, Oil & Gelatin Co. to build a plant that would turn fish waste into fish meal, fish oil and a nutritional supplement, chondroitin.

Construction is scheduled for this year. Pete Stitzel, one of the founders, said production could start by the end of the year with eight employees.
