The government this week issued a request for qualifications for the design and construction of a new $303-million terminal
The province is looking for firms able to bring to life the long-promised and highly anticipated $303-million Belleville Terminal redevelopment project.
“We have moved quickly from project approval to procurement to signal that this tourism and trade corridor is critical for the region,” said Transportation Minister Rob Fleming, adding an improved, modern terminal will be an economic generator on both sides of the border and will “make travel more convenient for the hundreds of thousands of passengers travelling through it every year.”
The first phase of the project involves establishing a temporary terminal in the CPR Steamship Building and a new wharf to accommodate the Clipper and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. That should be complete next year. The project, which includes a federal commitment of at least $41.6 million, is expected to be completed in late 2027.The 31 recipients will receive nearly $15 million with one-time grants from the Destination Development Fund.
