GOULDSBORO — The owner of Live Lobster Co. Inc., which suspended operations at its Prospect Harbor lobster processing plant March 23, hopes to be in business again this summer, according to a company executive.
TD Bank froze the checking accounts of the Chelsea, Mass.-based seafood company March 23. The action affects Live Lobster businesses in Massachusetts, Maine and Canada.
Live Lobster’s vice president of operations, Toni Lilienthal, said company President Antonio Bussone has been working to free up funding.
“They’re still working on getting the accounts unfrozen,” she said Tuesday. “There are several companies that are interested in helping us out.”
Asked if the companies were banks or seafood processors, she said, “both.”
“Antonio said it’s going to be rough going, but we’ll be back buying lobsters in June,” said Lilienthal. “He feels badly he can’t pay our people.”
Bussone was not immediately available for comment.
