From the Times of San Diego:

The Port of San Diego on Tuesday officially began a $24 million modernization the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal on the edge of downtown.

The project will remove two obsolete warehouses and create a much-needed area for assembling large cargo like steel pieces and military equipment. It will also include improvements to utilities, lighting and pavement and new modular office space.

A long-term redevelopment plan for the terminal envisions three distinct cargo areas — refrigerated containers, commodity cargo like cement, and “break-bulk” for large cargo like vehicles and steel pieces.

The port received a $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation and will match it with a $14 million contribution.
