Emerson Port Closure Proposed By Canada Customs
Canada Customs has proposed closing the Emerson Highway 75 port of entry effective May 31 with Emerson officials meeting to discuss concerns. The plan cites cost savings and traffic shifting to Emerson West Lynne, with three officers to retire and potential business impact for local motel and fuel providers. Nearby derailment near Portage la Prairie caused hours of delays but no injuries, while grain movements and new exploration projects in Manitoba frame regional economic activity. ISOBORD aims to start a $130 million strawboard plant in Elie by mid April, creating up to 250 jobs when production begins in 1998.
