Port of Longview Seeks Expressions of Interest in Cargo Terminal Opportunity

The Port of Longview announces the availability of available industrial waterfront property on the Columbia River in the State of Washington.

Bridgeview Terminal, which consists of two cargo docks and upland areas, became available following the expiration earlier this year of its long-term lease with the bulk cargo operator/ tenant. The port is primarily interested in responses to import or export bulk cargos, but will consider opportunities for other marine-dependent uses.  

"Opportunities to establish new terminal operations or terminal redevelopment are minimal on the West Coast," said Business Development Manager Laurie Nelson-Cooley. "Here at the Port of Longview, we have a facility ready to handle cargo with direct transportation connections and an experienced work force."

The port has issued a formal Request for Expression of Interest to determine interest in the property. Included in the request is a summary of terminal property, on-site facilities and additional potentially available properties.  

"Our intent is to maximize this terminal based on cargo throughput, job creation and return on investment to our customers and community partners," said Ms. Nelson-Cooley.

Seeking interest in the terminal is the first step in evaluating potential uses and agreements. Based on initial responses, the process will move into a formal Request for Qualifications and/or Request for Proposals phase.

The Request for Expression of Interest document can be found on the port’s website at http://www.portoflongview.com/DoingBusiness.aspx. Note: Responses are due July 15, 2016.
