Umpqua CDC
provided technical assistance to the City of Port Orford to obtain
funding and handle project management for a $5,000,000 Port upgrade.
The pier
was converted from a 1930’s timber and post construction to a much
larger concrete decked pier. The Port is open to the ocean so the
fishing boats are hauled out of the water nightly. The upgrade included
two new cranes, one with a larger capacity |
