The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Washington Headquarters Service Office of Economic Adjustment awarded a $1,051,246 Project Grant to the Port of Morrow, a U.S. local government entity and port authority, on April 1, 2024. The grant is funded through the Community Economic Adjustment Assistance for Realignment or Closure of a Military Installation program (CFDA 12.607), which assists state and local governments in planning and implementing economic adjustment strategies following military base closures or realignments.
The grant supports the Umatilla Chemical Depot Redevelopment 2024 project, which aims to offset economic losses from the base closure and revitalize the local economy in Oregon. The funding will be used for activities such as strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, environmental impact assessments, and job creation initiatives related to the redevelopment of the former Umatilla Chemical Depot. This is part of Port of Morrow's ongoing efforts to manage federally funded projects for community economic development and infrastructure improvement.
