The Port of The Dalles recently held its strategic planning session to discuss what its focus should be in the upcoming months.  The Port has been discussing how its role changes without available land for development.  Port Executive Director Andrea Klaas says helping existing businesses will remain a top priority, but another subject was to be prepared to do things a bit differently.  Priorities include identifying opportunities for economic development in Dufur, coming up with a marina strategy and master plan, developing a matrix for project criteria, and continuing to look how to work with partners on community development.
