The Daily News reports that 'the owners of the Temco terminal, formerly United Harvest, plan 12 additional storage silos, new rail lines, support buildings and conveyor belts. A previous 2010 permit had called for eight new silos.'
Cowlitz County commissioners unanimously approved a shoreline permit for expansion of the Temco grain terminal at the Port of Kalama Tuesday.
The permit is one of many that’s needed for the $50 million expansion. Shoreline permits deal with work done along the Columbia River.
Rick Von Rock, a Kelso resident and former union representative at Longview Fibre Paper & Packaging, warned commissioners there could be union protests if construction is not done by local union workers.
