Inaugural funding of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s Blue Catfish Processing, Flash Freezing, and Infrastructure Grant Program has awarded $250,000 to Sea Farms Inc. Funding will enable the company, which has facilities in Gloucester and Mathews counties, to increase capacity and expand purchasing of blue catfish from local watermen by modernizing equipment and storage space with a new blast freezer. Increased purchase of blue catfish removes an invasive species from Virginia waterways.
