The Klickitat County Commission approved a Shorelines Conditional Use Permit for the Port of Klickitat to make improvements on about 40 acres of the Bingen Industrial Park to support light industrial development and recreational use. The only question from the Commission was whether parking for the boat launch at the park would be maintained, and Port Property Manager David Sauter said it would be. Work will include leveling, filling, constructing asphalt roadways and multi-use pathways, paving parking areas, improving access, relocating existing pumphouses, stormwater management, and constructing franchise utilities. The permit had received a unanimous recommendation from the Klickitat County Planning Commission.
