ILWACO — The Port of Ilwaco and Jessie’s Ilwaco Fish Company are in the beginning stages of planning a “green” cold storage facility they believe could create 75 new jobs, save local fish processors thousands in transportation and storage costs and draw other seafood-related businesses to the area.
The port and seafood processing company say the time is right to build the facility. Both the economy and fisheries management policies seem more stable now than they have in the past, they say.
And, with the dredging of Ilwaco’s Baker Bay channel assured by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Port of Ilwaco Manager Guy Glenn, Jr., says they feel they can plan more for the future.
