Through the transfer, the City of Cornwall and Mohawk Council of Akwesasne will become co-owners of the Port lands. A joint entity, known as Cornwall Akwesasne Port Development Commission, has been established to oversee the management and long-term development of the Port under the umbrella of a co-owners’ agreement. «The transfer of the Port of Cornwall signals a new era of cooperation and collaboration between our two communities,» said Cornwall Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy. “By taking ownership of the Port, we will collectively oversee the future use of a key piece of our waterfront.» Added Akwesasne Grand Chief Abram Benedict: «This milestone in our partnership with the City of Cornwall and Transport Canada is a model for other Indigenous and non Indigenous Communities to strive towards. We look forward to continuing to work with our partners to create additional opportunities for both our communities.”
