The Editor,
Re. “What will be legacy of enviro protection?” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 15).
In his letter, Mr. Lepp chastises Port Moody’s mayor and council for approving the potash shed at Pacific Coast Terminals.
I understand Mr. Lepp’s misunderstanding of the process but city council does not approve PCT projects, Port Metro Vancouver does.
May I also say that while the big shed creates an eyesore for some, it also creates 300 construction jobs, 60 full-time jobs (approximately twice the current number) and, when fully operational, will put up to $2 million into city coffers — that represents more than 5% of our total taxation.
A better question to city council would be: “How are they going to use that money to make this a better community?”
