The public will get another chance to voice their support or opposition for the proposed methanol plant at the Port of Kalama. Cowlitz County is accepting comments on the plant’s shoreline development plan throughout August.
Port of Kalama and Northwest Innovation Works submitted an application for substantial shoreline development to the county in December, and the application was considered complete in July.
A public comment period on the shoreline application started Tuesday and ends Sept. 1.
Northwest Innovation Works’ proposed $1.8 billion plant would convert natural gas to methanol, which would be shipped to China and turned into olefins, a key component of plastic.
