The Island's marine gateway to Washington state is getting an upgrade.

The community is invited to provide input on what the Belleville Terminal needs as public engagement for a proposed redevelopment project gets underway.

Community members can participate online until October 20, 2022, by viewing the project boards and completing the survey.

Some of the work will include building a new pre-clearance terminal building and replacing aging and inadequate infrastructure, including the wharf facilities.

The province says the project will benefit the region for decades.

It's anticipated to generate $257 million a year in visitor expenditures and support up to 3,200 regional jobs in 20 years.
