The Port of Chehalis is inviting the public to a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the recently completed McBride Court Project.
The Port of Chehalis is inviting the public to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its $1.8 million 105 McBride Court Project.
The event will take place at 12:15 p.m. Jan. 3.
According to a press release from the port, the project was intended to construct several affordable, flexible spaces suitable for small businesses and startups in the fields of industrial, manufacturing, technology and “value-added agriculture industries.”
Work at the site began in 2018 with construction of the building beginning last September. The $1.8 million project was funded by the Port of Chehalis, the Lewis County Distressed County Fund and the TransAlta Economic and Community Development Board.
“For years, the port has operated with a 100 percent occupancy rate and no vacant space,” Port of Chehalis CEO Randy Mueller said in the press release. “The downside to that success has been having to turn away potential new tenants looking to locate their businesses in the Chehalis Industrial Park. With this building, we now have a supply of new, modern spaces sized for small businesses at very attractive lease rates designed to boost small companies and startups.”
While some spaces are still available in the building, about half of the spaces have already been leased.
The port encourages those interested in occupying the building to contact the port.
