East Industrial Park Open House May 27

Washougal, Wash. - May 14, 2009 -

The Port of Camas/Washougal invites the community to attend an open house to review and share feedback on the draft land use options currently being considered for the East Industrial Park - 122 acres east of the existing Port Industrial Park. The public open house is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Port of Camas-Washougal located at 24 South A Street, in Washougal. The drop-in style open house will include periodic project overview presentations and graphic representations of the draft land use options at display stations. Staff will be on hand to answer questions and collect comments.

The Port's mission is to provide economic and recreational benefits to the Camas-Washougal area while increasing the quality of life throughout the region. In creating a Master Development Plan for the East Industrial Park, the Port will seek to maximize the economic potential of public assets and provide predictability during future phases of development, while maintaining flexibility needed to meet the demands of a dynamic market. Mackay & Sposito and JLA Public Involvement will be working together with the Port of Camas-Washougal and the community to conduct the Master Development Plan process and generate land use and design options for the East Industrial Park.

The Port of Camas-Washougal values and encourages input from the community about this project and other Port initiatives.
