Port of Grays Harbor commissioners have given Port executive director Gary Nelson the go-ahead to negotiate the terms of a lease option with BHP Billiton for the company’s proposed Terminal 3 potash storage and shipping facility.
Nelson may now negotiate the terms of a lease option with BHP. No terms have been disclosed at this point.
The resolution notes that the Port is trying to make arrangements with existing tenants and property owners in the area of the proposed potash site so that it could be included in the project, including Willis Enterprises, which currently operates a wood chip shipping facility at Terminal 3.
