A company with plans to build a commercial port facility on the Northern Peninsula is moving closer to its goal. As that continues, the Northern Peninsula could be an important gateway to the Northwest Passage, he said. And this week the company partnered with Memorial University to study the potential economic impact of a commercial port facility at the Northern Peninsula harbour, as reported by VOCM on Monday. Over the last couple of years, people with Great Northern Port and the project have met with members of the communities that would be near the harbour project. Dan Villeneuve, president and CEO of Great Northern Port, says he hopes the proposed port project would lead to the development of related businesses in and around St. Anthony, on the Northern Peninsula.
