The Dalles Community Action Team will be heading to Washington, D.C. in early March to pitch local projects for federal funding. Port of The Dalles Executive Director Andrea Klaas expects it to be an interesting trip, with the federal government running on a continuing resolution and some programs that have funds available for local projects sunsetting. Projects that will be pitched include the search for more buildable industrial lands, and work on the Port of The Dalles Marina boat ramp and the permits necessary for it.
