While you may immediately think of large harbors or airports when you hear the word “port,” there is so much more to ports than just transportation! Please join us for this multi-part series exploring ports and learning the various ways they support the communities they serve.
Part 1: Economic Development/Job Creation
Washington State has 75 public port districts, operating in 33 of the 39 counties in the state, and is the largest locally controlled public port system in the world. These ports play a crucial role for the state’s economic health and competitiveness. As they say in real estate, “location, location, location!” and Washington’s location and geography give the state a competitive edge facilitating trade of agricultural products between the Midwest and Asia. The state of Washington is home to only 2% of the U.S. population, but its ports handle 7% of U.S. exports and 6% of all imports. While the coastal ports in Washington contribute enormously to the regional and statewide economies with their movement of goods, smaller ports also have significant impacts to the communities they serve.
Almost every port in Washington pursues an aggressive program of economic development through infrastructure, industrial, import/export, tourism and entrepreneurial development. Ports invest in the long-term future of their communities by building facilities which will eventually house businesses and, in turn, will reinvest in the health and prosperity of the area. Ports can develop the infrastructure necessary to attract employers and, once the facilities are built, they lease the buildings to these businesses which generate livable-wage jobs in the community.
In a 2016 study of Washington’s ports, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis found that over 71,000 direct jobs were supported by the state’s port districts and, through supply chain linkages and worker income expenditures, activities at Washington public ports support an additional 104,000 jobs, for a total of over 175,000 jobs created/supported by the state’s ports.
The Port of Camas-Washougal operates a 300-acre industrial park in Washougal, Washington and the Port’s properties are home to 54 business tenants. There are 19 (soon to be 20) buildings in the industrial park totaling nearly 350,000 square feet with an occupancy of 100%. For each acre of land it leases, the Port of Camas-Washougal produces over 6 jobs, and the Port provides facilities and services for land, air and rail-based commerce in order to enhance employment and economic growth, contributing to the quality of life in the community.
Washington ports operate with a long-term view to build and protect community assets, create jobs, promote enterprise, and move goods. The state’s port districts are community focused public enterprises which play a unique role in statewide infrastructure development and have tremendous impact on the areas they serve.
