After nearly 30 years of sitting vacant, the old grain silos at the Port of Longview could soon be torn down, opening up more space for the port to attract a new industrial tenant.
Contractors will evaluate whether there are any hazards or toxins in the silos that could affect demolition. … The grain terminal has sat empty in front of Berth 4 since Continental Grain abandoned the port in the late 1980s.
Rehabilitating Berth 4 and the space in front of it is now one of commissioners’ top priorities for building business. Once the space
is cleared, the port will have more land to market to a new bulk commodity facility or other businesses to create jobs, Averett noted.
