Port of Vancouver USA
The Port of Vancouver was named 2010 port of the year by the Washington Public Ports Association at its annual meeting in Tacoma. The association recognized its role in a number of recent projects, including a unit train loop completed in June and a $178 million deepening of the Columbia River channel.
“They are a shining example of how to spur job creation,” said Eric Johnson, the port association’s executive director, in a statement. Johnson chose the winning port from a pool of nominees.
