After 20 years of effort, the five-member San Francisco Port Commission recently voted unanimously to construct the Pier 27 James R. Herman International Cruise Terminal and Northeast Wharf Plaza.
Construction on the $52-million project could begin as early as March, according to Renée Dunn Martin, spokeswoman for the Port of San Francisco, who said the specific start date is dependent on various final regulatory approvals (e.g., a major development permit issued by the Bay Conservation and Development Commission).
