It appears finding existing building space in the Gorge is becoming more and more difficult for businesses interested in locating here.  Port of The Dalles Executive Director Andrea Klaas says her office received a call recently from a distribution company that was looking for a four-thousand square foot building to lease, and not only did the Port of The Dalles not have a location to offer, but none of the other Ports in the region had one, either.  Klaas says the Port of The Dalles is taking two steps to deal with the problem, including discussing with the Columbia Gorge Regional Airport about getting space in the flex building it is constructing, and talking with developers in the region to see if anyone is interested in constructing spec buildings.  Klaas notes the need is not for large buildings, but utilitarian facilities for smaller manufacturers and distributors.
