Oregon s Industrial Site Certification Program confirms industrial sites as project ready, a designation that means properties are ready for construction within six months or less. All certified sites have access to primary transportation networks and range in size from 30 acres to more than 700 acres. Details regarding certified sites are available at The Port of Portland s Rivergate Industrial District offers shovel-ready properties that are literally within sight of the Port s Terminal 6 ocean container terminal and intermodal yard. Ready to serve as a hub to the inland Northwest, the Columbia and Snake Rivers form the secondlargest river system in the U.S. and host a thriving container-on-barge industry used primarily for the export of upriver agricultural products. The ports of Morrow, Pasco and Umatilla have set aside thousands of acres of reasonably priced industrial property for enterprising businesses interested in taking advantage of the low-cost container-on-barge return trips for an upriver import distribution center. The Inland Northwest, comprised of the furthest inland port districts on the U.S. West Coast (Clarkston, Lewiston and Whitman County on the Idaho-Washington border), serves as a potential hub. Port facilities and services are designed to augment storage and intermodal transfers between barge, truck and rail transportation. Each port offers industrial and business park sites to accommodate your business start-up or expansion projects.

5 reliability and speed to market Kroger/Fred Meyer wanted to get away from the delays and rising costs of more congested ports. In 2004, we began transloading seasonal merchandise destined for the Midwest through Portland. Since that time, we ve avoided peak season delays, dramatically improved service reliability and reduced our costs. Based on those savings, we re continually increasing the volumes we move through the Port of Portland. Dennis Gallacher, Kroger/Fred Meyer Assistant Vice President of International Logistics Oregon s economic development practices combine shovel-ready property with efficient, high-capacity transportation infrastructure to create today s logistics advantages. Businesses that rely on these logistics advantages get their products to market quickly and affordably, while avoiding peak-season pitfalls.

The project includes the construction of additional berth space, with additional cranes to simultaneously handle two post-panamax cargo vessels, as well as a smaller container ship or barge; intermodal rail Port of Portland/Ackroyd Photography

7 oregon invests in oregon Oregon is committed to investing in the freight transportation infrastructure necessary to ensure your business benefits from fast and efficient logistics services. ConnectOregon: In 2005, the Oregon Legislature demonstrated unwavering committment to strengthening transportation infrastructure by passing the ConnectOregon bill. ConnectOregon is a $100-million funding initiative targeting multimodal, non-highway transportation in Oregon. With the projected doubling of freight volumes in the next 10 to 20 years threatening to overload much of the West Coast s current transportation infrastructure, ConnectOregon ensures Oregon s rail, marine and air transportation infrastructures will continue to offer fast and efficient freight transportation in the future. ConnectOregon promotes and affirms continued partnerships with customers to maximize the benefits of this investment in Oregon. The Columbia River Navigation Channel Improvement Project: Each year, more than 30 million tons of cargo valued at $15 billion is shipped via the Columbia River. The project, started in 2005, will deepen the river s navigation channel from 40 to 43 feet and allow larger container and bulk ships to access Columbia River ports. The Oregon Transportation Investment Act (OTIA) is a $1.3 billion funding package for bridges on the state s highway system, many of which are on Interstate 5 and Interstate 84. During the next decade, OTIA funds will repair or replace hundreds of bridges; pave and maintain city and county road systems; improve and expand interchanges thereby adding new capacity to Oregon s highway system; and remove freight congestion statewide. The OTIA represents the state s largest highway investment since the interstate freeway system was built in the 1950s and 1960s.
