I helped the City of Antioch welcome AMPORTS Inc. to its newest automotive terminal off Wilbur Ave in Antioch, marking a pivotal moment in the expansion of AMPORTS’ operations in the Bay Area. The terminal, developed over two years, adds approximately 100 acres to AMPORTS’ facilities and can provide direct rail access to the BSNF Railway. Should BSNF service the site in the future, it would significantly enhance logistical capabilities. Strategically located to provide convenient access to land transport links and distribution networks in major metropolitan areas, AMPORTS’ operations in Antioch will benefit from this optimum positioning. The new pier in Antioch is now operational, accepting roll-on/roll-off vessels and activating industrial space along the city’s waterfront and contributing significantly to local industry and commerce. It places Antioch as a crucial hub for vehicle import and export activities. It is an energizing time for the Antioch community, underscoring that “Antioch is Opportunity.”
