The Port of Port Angeles is in the process of applying for funding under the State Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) planning grant program. This potential funding will be used to assist in the development of a Marine Trades Industrial Park (MTIP) site plan for the former K-Ply mill site.
At the Port Commission Meeting scheduled for January 26, 2016 at 9:00 a.m., Port Administration Building, 338 W. First Street, Port Angeles, WA 98362, the Commissioners will consider Resolution 16-1121 authorizing the Executive Director to make a formal application to CERB for funding assistance.
The proposed funding at a maximum of $50,000 would be used to develop a site plan for Marine Trades Industrial Park. In the Port 2016 Capital Budget $250,000 is budgeted for this project. Outside grant funding such as CERB enables the Port to redirect budgeted funds to the completion of this project and other projects.
Interested parties may make comment regarding this grant application or other issues during two
public comment periods during each commission meeting. Out of respect for everyone attending, speakers are asked to keep their comments to less than three minutes each.
