Port wins $50,000 grant
On July 27, the Port of Anacortes was awarded a $50,000 planning grant for an economic development feasibility study of underutilized property located at Cap Sante Marina. The grant was awarded by the Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) of the Washington Department of Commerce. Funding from the grant will help the Port develop a real estate strategy that will include a market assessment and business plan for its waterfront properties. Such a plan could potentially include moving Port offices to the North and West Basin of the Marina, as well as creating an event space, allowing the Transit Shed to return to its original maritime industrial use, promoting jobs and commerce.
