The future vision for the Port is centered around the development of a diverse series of districts tied to the following land uses:
- Liquid & Dry Bulk, Ro/Ro
- Maritime-Dependent Industry
- Light Manufacturing
- Green Hub
- High-Visibility Commercial
As shown in the accompanying map, districts proximate to Terminals 1 through 4 are reserved for maritime-dependent land uses while other uses are concentrated in districts upland and away from marine infrastructure.
Ensuring the highest degree of access to maritime-dependent users will be critical to maximizing throughput at the Port and realizing BPA’s vision.
The district-level plan is not absolute. While the aforementioned proximity to critical marine infrastructure is key, the size, the configuration and the location of most districts can be altered over the next 30 years to dynamically accommodate changes in the market, new policy goals and regulatory impacts that influence the development landscape. Buffer parcels between certain districts also provide additional flexibility, acting as an overflow to accommodate development that outgrows a particular district.
