Port Alberni Port Authority president & CEO Zoran Knezevich says it’s good the federal government has taken the drivers seat in moving the Kinder Morgan pipeline forward.
He says West Coast Marine Response Corporation will now resume work on building their base in Port Alberni which will consist of a new building on Port Authority lands and a marina off a refurbished Water Street dock.
Knezevich says there will be 22 direct jobs and many indirect jobs in boat repair, marine fuel and providing provisions for the vessels and crews.
