The Port of The Dalles public boat launch ramp is still open. Port Executive Director Andrea Klaas says the restrooms at the marina are closed, but the ramp remains available for use, with the public asked to maintain social distancing. Klaas says business inquiries about Port properties have ground to a near-halt over the last month. She notes one of the questions for the Port to address over the next few months will be how the agency’s work plan changes, noting she expects a renewed emphasis on business retention while continuing work on pushing for urban growth boundary expansion.
