Alliance for Northwest Jobs & Exports

The proposed terminals would create thousands of new jobs and generate tens of millions in additional tax revenue for schools and other services in Washington and Oregon. Though the Alliance does not advocate for any of the particular export projects, you can learn more about each of them below.

Morrow Pacific Project

The Morrow Pacific Project will create a new coal export route, offering a means to transport low-sulfur intermountain coal by train to Oregon’s Port of Morrow, to be shipped to trade allies overseas. If approved, the proposed train route to the Port of Morrow would help create over 1000 permanent jobs in rural Oregon, increase the tax base for the communities involved and provide voluntary contributions to K-12 schools in Morrow County, Oregon.

Millennium Bulk Coal Export Terminal

The proposed Millennium Bulk coal export terminal would be a state-of-the-art storage and loading facility for coal exports, built in Cowlitz County, Washington. In addition to creating thousands of new temporary and permanent jobs, the facility would generate millions of dollars in annual tax revenue at both the county and state level.

Gateway Pacific Terminal

The Gateway Pacific Terminal is a proposal for a full-service, dry bulk commodity export-import facility in Cherry Point, Washington. This terminal would be one of the largest and most technologically advanced of its kind, as well as one of the area’s biggest taxpayers, with over $4 million paid annually at full build-out. The construction of this facility would employ over 4,000 people in the region during its two year construction, and go on to create over 1,000 long term jobs in the community.
