Cowlitz County Grants $30,000 for Port of Kalama Trail Improvement Project
Kalama, Washington (PRWEB) April 30, 2014 -- Cowlitz County has awarded the Port of Kalama a $30,000 grant for the Port of Kalama Trail Improvement Project. The grant enables the Port to improve pedestrian and vehicle separation barriers and meridians along West Marine Drive. The improvements are part of the plan to enhance recreational opportunities at the Port and are expected to be completed by the end of 2014.
“The pathways have become a very popular recreational destination for pedestrians and bicyclists, while the marina is a busy hub for boating and fishing. These improvements will really enhance the safety for all who use the Port’s parks,” says Jacobo Salan, development manager, Port of Kalama. “We cannot thank Ron Junker, facilities services director at the county, and the County enough for the support of this project which assists the Port in meeting its mission.”
