By GORDON RAGO | The Virginian-Pilot | Published: March 17, 2021 NORFOLK, Va. (Tribune News Service) — Hampton Roads is a military town. Hampton Roads is a port town. Why not combine the two? A $15 million, five-year contract signed last month ties the industries together: The military has lots of stuff; the port can help move it. And it appears the deal would breathe new life into the Portsmouth Marine Terminal, a cargo facility located on the Elizabeth River which was closed to container traffic in April due to near double-digit drops in cargo related to the coronavirus pandemic. The port has kept the terminal intact for other uses like staging equipment for an upcoming offshore wind project.
