The Port of The Dalles Commission held its meeting in Dufur last week. Port Executive Director Andrea Klaas says they got an update on water system improvements the Port and the City of Dufur partnered on, and discussed wastewater system needs for the community. Klaas says a design is in place and funds are being sought, and that’s good news for the Port, as there is the potential for commercial and industrial development in Dufur. That meeting also marked the final one for long time Port board member Mike Courtney, who is stepping away after serving for 24 years.
