   The terminal is comprised of two cargo docks and upland areas. It recently became available when the lease with its former bulk cargo operator/tenant expired earlier this year.
   The port authority prefers operators interested in handling import and export bulk cargo, but said it’s open to other possible marine uses.
    “Opportunities to establish new terminal operations or terminal redevelopment are minimal on the West Coast,” said Laurie Nelson-Cooley, the Port of Longview’s business development manager. “Here at the Port of Longview, we have a facility ready to handle cargo with direct transportation connections and an experienced work force.”
   The Port has issued a formal “request for expression of interest” to determine interest in the property. A summary of terminal property, on-site facilities and additional potentially available properties is also available on the port’s website.
