A plan to allow for the development of a new grain export terminal at the Port of Portland has been cancelled.

Tentative plans for the West Hayden Island project would have included a grain export terminal, an auto processing facility, onsite manufacturing and about 500 acres of natural areas.

To allow for development, however, the property would have to be annexed into the City of Portland. However, environmental mitigation measures required by the commission rendered the plan prohibitively expensive, a port spokesman said.
