Arlington
The Oregon Department of
Transportation gave the Port of Arlington a $1.89 million
Connect Oregon grant to help fund the planning and building of
a new barge dock. Connect Oregon grants help move
transportation of goods off freeways and onto railroads and
waterways. The $3 million dock will be at Willow Creek on the
Columbia River. According to Jodi Grady from the Port of
Arlington, the city hopes the dock will attract new businesses
into an industrial park around the barge dock. The dock should
be open in April 2007. Portland-based Berger/Abam Engineers
will oversee the construction following approval by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers.
