An announcement from the Prince Rupert Port Authority has emerged stating the PRPA is partnering up with the Metlakatla Development Corporation to develop a project.
The project in question is known as the South Kaien Import Logistics Park and it has been described as an over $100 Million Indigenous-led joint venture that will ultimately bolster intermodal trade via the Prince Rupert Gateway, create new jobs for local Indigenous workers and also result in long term economic benefits for Metlakatla.
The construction of this project will be done on the 56 acres of land close to the to Fairview Terminal, CN Rail, as well as the recently announced CANXPORT facility.
