QuoteA property tax incentive to help international construction products manufacturer CertainTeed Corp. develop a $69.3 million cross-dock facility at an Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site in Talleyrand is headed to City Council.
The Mayor's Budget Review Committee voted 7-0 on July 26 to file legislation to authorize a 10-year, 50% Recapture Enhanced Value Grant capped at $3.4 million for the project.
Documents filed July 21 with the budget committee show the Valley Forge, Pennsylvania-based company is considering the vacant 32.46-acre Level 2 Distressed Area at 1611 Talleyrand Ave. for a cross-dock terminal to handle raw material imports.

The city's project summary says CertainTeed's $69.3 million investment includes a cross-dock terminal; bulkhead and marine structure to accommodate Panamax-size vessels; overland conveyors; concrete pads for the temporary storage of bulk materials; a dock office; a scale house/office; and a truck staging area and scale.
I looked it up, "Panamax" vessels are those that could fit through the original canal. Maximum draft is 39.5 feet, and maximum height above the waterline is 190 feet. Of course, these are maximums, and not all Panamax ships meet the maximums. What is the channel depth from Dames Point to this site?
