Ground has been broken for a $200 million grain terminal at the Port of Longview on the Columbia River.
The facility is the first large export grain terminal to be built in the U.S. in two decades. It's being built by EGT Development LLC, a partnership by St. Louis-based Bunge North America, Japan's Itochu Corp. and South Korean shipping company STX Pan Ocean. Construction at the 38-acre site is due to be completed in 2011.
At the ceremony Tuesday, EGT chief executive Larry Clarke said the high-technology terminal will allow up to four, 110-car trains to be unloaded simultaneously. The Daily News of Longview says the terminal is expected to employ about 50 workers. About 200 construction workers will be needed to build it.
