The Port of The Dalles is planning to apply for funding from the state to help planning and marketing funds to help market the Columbia Gorge Industrial Center. Port Executive Director Andrea Klaas says it appears there will be funds in the state budget for 2015-17 to be associated with capital construction projects. For The Dalles, that means the opportunity to receive grant dollars for planning and marketing projects they are working on, and specifically the Columbia Gorge Industrial Center. Klaas says the final three-inch lift of asphalt on roads in the Industrial Center is expected to be laid down in June, which will finish infrastructure installation there.
