The Port of The Dalles was part of an eight-month effort looking at what needs to be done for The Dalles to be attractive for technology companies and how to support entrepreneurs in that sector.  Port Executive Director Andrea Klaas says the group will begin early next year taking action, and one of the big needs is to help develop the workforce companies in the region require to fill their employment needs within the community.  Google helped fund the study that was done in conjunction with the Center for Rural Innovation.
