Statement of Purpose:
   The Jasper Ocean Terminal is finally a reality – but what exactly is going on?
   We will collect all of the information we can find on the port and its progress and post it here for the public. The
different meetings, projects, goals and government bodies related to this port can be hard to keep up with. This website should make that task a lot easier. This is our future, the more we know the more we can shape it.
