OTTAWA — The federal government has announced it has allocated $38 million towards seven projects in Quebec under the National Trade Corridors Fund.
Among them, the Montreal Port Authority will increase export capacity for Canadian containerized grains, and the QSL International will develop an industrial-port zone in the cities of Sorel-Tracy and Saint-Joseph-de-Sorel, stated a release.
The Quebec Port Authority is undertaking several projects, including expanding the terminal storage space at Pier 103, relocating infrastructure for the electrical supply of the L’Anse au Foulon sector, upgrading the estuary rail yard, and finalizing an agreement for the development of a new dry bulk and cargo terminal behind pier 108 in the Anse au Foulon sector.
The Saguenay Port Authority will also establish a new storage area in the southwest sector of its terminal.
“This conversion of a former industrial site into a port terminal is a concrete example of sustainable development that we are proud of. This new infrastructure will allow us to better serve local farmers and businesses while minimizing environmental impact thanks to innovative floating dock technology,” stated QSO CEO Robert Bellisle in a statement.
