LONGVIEW — The remaining heavy industrial site at the Port of Woodland’s Columbia River property has been leased, following more than six decades of the port not offering deepwater access.
The port signed an 80-year lease last week with California-based Granite Construction for Martin Bar South. The agreement comes roughly two months after the a lease was signed with Oregon-based Wilsonville Concrete Products for 15 acres at Martin Bar North.
The civil construction company, specializing in asphalt and aggregate, is leasing a 25-acre strip of land between the Columbia River and Dike Road west of the Woodland Bottoms.
Port Executive Director Jennifer Wray-Keene said both companies signed 80-year leases and are being offered reduced rates prior to buildout.
