How will the Deltaport Third Berth Project benefit the local community?
The DP3 Project will create jobs for local workers and economic opportunities for local businesses, during both construction and operation. It will also generate tax revenues for the Corporation of Delta and support the development of local infrastructure. The DP3 Project will provide positive economic benefits primarily to Delta, Metro Vancouver and B.C., from expenditure on wages, goods and services purchased, and taxes. The project will create 640 person-years of employment during construction and 356 full-time positions during annual operation. By 2020, it is estimated that port activities will generate more than 3,000 direct jobs locally and more than $161 million in wages paid in Delta.
