Representatives from the City of Oakland, the Port of Oakland, and port-related businesses facing imminent eviction from the East Gateway section of the old Oakland Army Base said last week that they were close to an agreement on moving those businesses to the port portion of the Army Base property.
Four companies — PCC Logistics, Port Transfer, Inc., Industrial Railways, and Impact Transportation — must agree to vacate their locations on the Army Base by May 31 in order to prevent Oakland from losing more than $200 million in state grant funds for the base development project. The companies want to move over to port property that also was once part of the Army Base in order to continue their work with the port.
