The Port of The Dalles is looking at how its properties might fit into the value-added agriculture sector. Port Executive Director Andrea Klaas says most of the leads they receive from the state in that area have been for very large projects this region’s land supply cannot provide. But she says it has sparked the idea of some kind of food hub that can emphasize the technology now used in the food industry. Another area of exploration is a tie-in between agriculture and the growing unmanned aerial vehicle industry.
