Port of Camas-Washougal The Port of Camas-Washougal, considering rezoning of its East Industrial Park, is conducting a public walking tour of the property at 9 a.m. Monday, Jan. 28. The East Industrial Park is just east of Captain William Clark Park on Cottonwood Beach. Participants are asked to arrive at 8:45 a.m. wearing warm clothes and walking shoes. Port of Ridgefield pledges $2
million The Port of Ridgefield has begun the process of raising an estimated $12.5 million overpass on Pioneer Street with a pledge of $2 million. The overpass would link downtown Ridgefield with its Lake River waterfront recreational area. Construction of the project is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2010. The project will also allow closure of two at-grade railroad crossings, including the Mill Street crossing, which is currently rated as the fifth most dangerous crossing in the state. Closure of the crossing will speed up freight and passenger movement through Ridgefield. “Increasing freight mobility in Ridgefield will also promote redevelopment and employment at the port, and will also preserve and promote job growth and economic development in the entire Portland-Vancouver metro area,” says Port commissioner Roy Randel. Bank of Cark County awarded The Bank of Clark County has been recognized by the Better Business Bureau with the Business of the Year Torch Award in the “large business” category in Oregon and Southwest Washington, reports the bank's chairman, Mike Worthy. The Business of the Year award recognizes customer service, community involvement and innovative business practices. The award was won last year by Vancouver-based Northwest Personal Training.
