LONGVIEW The Port of Longview will bid on the old Millennium Bulk Terminals land, which could dramatically increase the size of the port, port commissioners decided Wednesday.
A 540-acre parcel recently went up for sale when the parent company filed for bankruptcy.
The motion to submit a bid got a unanimous vote at Wednesday’s Board of Commissioners meeting after an executive session to discuss the plan. Executive sessions are not open to the public, but if the port is successful in its bid, it will bring the matter back in open session.

LONGVIEW After Millennium Bulk Terminals’ parent company filed for bankruptcy this month, the fate of the proposed coal terminal on the old Reynolds Aluminum Co. site is again in doubt, with opponents to the terminal calling the project dead.
On Jan. 8, a bankruptcy judge in Delaware signed a motion by Millennium Bulk Terminals’ parent company, Lighthouse Resources, to withdraw from Millennium’s lease with Alcoa, which owns the land along the north bank of the Columbia River near Longview. The move puts all of Lighthouse’s holdings under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
