As spring progresses, there is a lot of activity going on at the Port of The Dalles.  Port Marketing Director Kathy Ursprung says temporary fencing has been put up around new grass at Kiwanis Cove Park in the Port area to help protect it from geese.  The Port and the North Wasco County Parks and Recreation District have been partnering on that project.  In addition, a mixed commercial and residential use building is being constructed, a new veterinary clinic is about to be completed, and plans are in the works for building on a couple of more lots.  Ursprung says the Port still has some land available for development.
