The Unified Port of San Diego wants to expand its Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal by tearing down two gigantic buildings.
The buildings line the docks on San Diego Bay. Maritime Operations Program Manager Aimee Heim said workers unload cargo from ships and then waste time and energy moving the cargo around the buildings.
Heim said the Port has proposed tearing the buildings down and using the footprint to store more cold-storage containers and over-sized cargo. She said that would mean more jobs and even more money coming in to the local economy.
