The Port of The Dalles is now expecting to finalize its strategic plan in December. That after the Port Commission took a second read of the draft plan, and wanted to do a little more work to make sure they capture the idea of looking at redevelopment and infill within The Dalles’ urban growth boundary. Port Executive Director Andrea Klaas says at the outset, infill can be more expensive, but at the same time it takes lower-value property and increases its value and provides additional opportunities for different types of businesses. Klaas says infill and redevelopment is one of the reasons they have been looking toward the tech sector for opportunities. She notes the Port will be looking to partnerships with other agencies when looking at infill projects.
