(Brusco)supports the Everett Planning Commission's recent recommended <br /> zoning option for the former Kimberly Clark site. As a marine employer operating in ports along the <br /> entire United States West Coast, Brusco knows that the Kimberly Clark site near the Port of Everett is <br /> uniquely positioned to complement the industrial activities already occurring at the Port and Naval <br /> facilities. <br /> Brusco has been an integral part of the Everett waterfront since 2008, employing both union and non- <br /> union employees with family wage jobs with average benefits in excess of$85,000 per employee, per <br /> year. Operating ship assist tugboat services as well as container barging between the Port and Mukilteo, <br /> Brusco believes that the recommended redevelopment plan for the site promotes much needed <br /> economic growth while also protecting the natural environment, both of which help make Everett a <br /> great place to work and live. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Kevin Campbell <br /> Director, Port Operations <br /> "The Best in Service" <br />
