The Port of The Dalles is continuing to explore the idea of building a food start-up production facility to enhance the regional economy through value-added agriculture.  Port Executive Director Andrea Klaas says they’ve been considering that sector for some time.  The Port is conducting an online survey among growers, processors, and other food businesses, and is interested in hearing from people who might like to make use of a commercial food production building.  Results will be used as part of a larger study to determine whether to move forward with facility construction.
