There is some progress of note towards a project that was part of the review of projects from the Annual Public Meeting of June for the Prince Rupert Port authority. 

With the PRPA announcing the clearing of land on the south end of Ridley Island and plans for site preparation for the port's latest initiative.

The site one for a proposed export logistics complex part of an integrated footprint of large scale, bulk, break bulk trainload facility, combined with an intermodal rail yard and container storage yard.

The forward momentum noted this month by an update from the PRPA towards their summer plans for the location

Earlier this year, the PRPA had received a Notice of Determination as part of a Federal Environment review process that noted that the proposed project was not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

So far the Port has not indicated if final approval for the project has been made yet by the PRPA, the last update on a timeline for the work should it move forward had the project had a large of 2025 for completion. 

More on the project from the Port can be examined here.
