PORTLAND (AP) — The Portland City Council plans to extend the season for the Portland-to-Nova Scotia ferry service by two weeks.
The City Council unanimously approved a contract to extend the season earlier this week.
The agreement is expected to generate an additional $16,600 in revenue for the city.
Portland received $265,000 in rent, parking and fees from the ferry agreement last year.
The new agreement states that Bay Ferries will operate The Cat high-speed ferry service from May 31 to Oct. 15.
