PASCAGOULA, Miss. — The Port of Pascagoula got the last funding piece in place for its wood pellet facility. The $196 million bond bill approved during the legislative session that ended in April includes $10 million that will round out the money needed for the $30 million project. The facility will be built along two terminals on the port’s Bayou Casotte. Construction, which should take 12 months, will start by year’s end. The port is contributing $15 million to go with the $10 million in bond money. Existing terminal operators are contributing $5 million for the wood pellet facility.
