FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PORTLAND, ORE. (May 29, 2009) – Industrial Development Gets New Home on Port Web Site

When most people think of the Port of Portland they think of ships and planes, but a new web site devoted to the Port’s industrial development efforts helps explain the important ties between sea, air and land. The new resource was added to raise awareness about the Port’s development projects, properties portfolio, and related strategies to help drive future volumes of cargo in the region.

The new site is now up and running at www.portofportland.com/Prop_Home.aspx, and is also accessible from a new tab at the top of the Port’s home page. Features include interactive maps of Port properties and a link to a statewide database of available properties.

The Port of Portland is one of the largest landowners in the Portland metropolitan area. It owns and manages more than 9,700 acres of land and nearly 12 million square feet of building space. The Port also owns four commercial and industrial parks, which are home to transportation, distribution and trade-related activities critical to businesses throughout the region.

As stewards of the environment and business alike, the Port also manages 720 acres of environmental mitigation sites. New development like that at the Troutdale Reynolds Industrial Park, for example, includes open spaces and efforts to protect wildlife and natural resources.
