History
Ashcroft Terminal has been in operation since 1997. Rapid expansion during the 2000s, thanks in large part to federal investment, has increased the inland port's operations, infrastructure and capacity.

Asia Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative
On October 11, 2006, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative (APGCI) with an initial investment of $5-million in federal funding. The expansion facilitated by the investment ensured increased capacity and access for shippers and logistics companies in the entire province.

In September 2013 the development of an online platform financed by the federal government was announced by Thompson-Nicola Regional District. The websites showcases the regional economy, highlighting investment opportunities, including in agriculture, mining and forestry with Ashcroft Terminal featured prominently.
