Making progress with Undevelopments

Two significant developments currently under way on Port Authority properties are actually "undevelopments " A 37-year-old tank farm is in the final stages of disassembly for potential redevelopment as a maritime fueling facility. Shown here is one of the disengaged tanks on the move from that Port site to another one. Four of the 13 tanks were immediately relocated to the nearby $1.5 million Port construction site of Como Lube and Supplies, Inc., for its used oil storage and transfer facility. Como's waterfront facility, which sells and receives maritime lubricants, filters and related products, will become operational this summer.Another undevelopment on Port Authority-owned property is demolition of two idle grain elevators in preparation for a future bulk cargo facility. The Garfield C & D elevators are on a 28-acre site that will be available for lease in 1999. Inactive since the late 1980s, the elevators were acquired by the Port Authority in 1989 from Caraill, Inc. The Port Authority Board of Commissioners awarded a $1.05 million contract to Duluth contractor Ilse Engineering, Inc., for the demolition project. (The elevators form the backdrop for the picture on the back cover of this issue of Minnesota's World Port.)On the move—one of 13 tanks is on its way to a new home.
