Still a BS subsidy, but at least they are actually getting user skin in the game). I'm thinking this is the torrefied wood potential (?)I would guess that you are correct in re: equipment for Mack Point, but if would be just that, a guess. Could the equipment at Eastport be used for this project?

No pellet mill, no freight, no nothing; $7 million for Eastport expansion. No wood chips flowing, no freight, no nothing.I'm wondering if that might be related to cattle but perhaps not. Would $1.5M for a warehouse be of any significance to any wood product of any kind? Would it build anything useful?
Note that the bond issuance would provide $1.5 million to the port of Eastport for a warehouse. For...?
