Barlow Point on the Columbia River

Barlow Point is about four miles downriver from the Port of Longview.

On Friday, the Port of Longview bought 306 acres of undeveloped waterfront property at Barlow Point for $2.45 million at a foreclosure auction. And on Monday, port director Ken O’Hollaren heads to Asia to market the land.

The port is still evaluating the parcel to determine its best use, said O’Hollaren, who added that port officials plan to study the possibility of building a marine terminal on parts of the riverfront property.

It’s about four miles downriver from the port, south of the Mount Solo landfill property. The land borders the former Reynolds site, which is occupied by Chinook Ventures.
