A previous letter criticized the construction at Pacific Coast Terminals but Jim Peacock defends the work as a job creator.

The Editor,

Re. “What will be legacy of enviro protection?” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 15).

Does the letter writer Jay Lepp host his chiropractic patients in an outdoor clinic or does the building that houses his offices obstruct someone else’s view of “such a beautiful inlet?”

I see the Pacific Coast Terminals potash warehouse construction from my living room window and each time I look at it I rejoice — because it means jobs for people living in Port Moody, jobs for producers of potash in Saskatchewan, jobs for railway and shipping industry workers, tax revenue for the city, community support for the arts, parks and all sorts of other things to which PCT contributes so much.

Port Moody is a port and the significant investment being made by PCT to provide capacity for shipping a new product should be valued. It will help to keep the company in business so it can continue to provide jobs and community support that this city and its residents need.
