Industrial Parks and Commercial Properties

The Port owns and operates a number of industrial and commercial properties, covering a broad range of uses and amenities. The development of these properties has been guided by the Port’s strategic vision to support and expand economic opportunity in Clallam County. The Port has three industrial properties near the Fairchild International Airport:

• The Airport Business Park is comprised of 110 acres of light industrial/commercial properties adjacent to and north of the main runway of the William R. Fairchild International Airport. The park houses a variety of manufacturing and commercial businesses, as well as government entities, and has over 25 acres of build-ready sites.
• Within the Airport Business Park, the Composite Manufacturing Campus consists of five occupied 25,000 square-foot buildings and two build-ready sites. Newly available is a 93,500 square-foot manufacturing building, with a dedicated taxiway, that the Port can divide into large manufacturing suites. The Composite Manufacturing Campus’ anchor tenants are Angeles Composites Technology, Inc. (ACTI), and Composites Recycling Technology Center (CRTC). ACTI is an established, long term composite manufacturer and, CRTC is a flagship example of successful partnering with the Port in composites.
• The Airport Industrial Park is south of the airport terminal and consists of 4+ acres available for development.
• The Marine Trades Industrial Park is located just east of Terminal 1 on the Port Angeles harbor waterfront with 18 build-ready acres redeveloped from a former mill site. It includes a newly constructed 17,000 sf wash-down facility and an available 300-ton travel lift pier.

Industrial Development Corporation

For the purpose of facilitating economic development and employment opportunities in Washington State through the financing of the project costs of industrial development facilities, a municipality may enact an ordinance creating a public corporation for the purposes authorized in Ch. 39.84 RCW.

Such a public corporation may issue revenue bonds for the purpose of financing all or part of the project cost of any industrial development facility and to secure the payment of the revenue bonds as provided. A number of Washington local governments created industrial development corporations (IDCs) in the early 1980’s after the legislation was enacted.

An IDC can issue industrial revenue bonds to provide financing for land, buildings, and equipment for new and expanding manufacturing facilities. These loans may be used to encourage relocations and expansions of companies that provide jobs and expand economic opportunities for residents and the community.

Tax exempt bonds may be applied for by the manufacturer, processing company, or wholesale distribution center. Cities, counties, port districts and economic development agencies have the ability to issue revenue bonds. The Port of Port Angeles will work with interested entities to help facilitate the IDC process.
