And they’re up! We just installed Yoonhee Choi’s incredible glass walls in the new PDX. These 56-foot-long art installations feature vibrant lines and playful shapes that invite your imagination to wander amidst the typical hustle and bustle of an airport. Portland-based artist, Yoonhee brings a unique blend of city planning, architecture, and art to her work. She describes her design as a "whimsical map of an imaginary land," that encourages endless interpretations. So, the next time you’re in the TSA line, it might feel more like a stroll through a modern art museum.

We know you’re fond of the PDX carpet, but Ben Deumling, of Zena Forest Products, is hoping you’re fall in love with something else under your feet this August – wood! Ben and Sarah Deumling have transformed their family’s forest and local woodlands into the stunning white-oak floors that will be part of the new PDX. Not only are these floors a beautiful sight; they also represent a significant step forward in forest restoration and stewardship. Sarah, Ben’s mother, still actively tending their forest daily, has joined Ben in creating PDX’s unique edge-grain flooring tiles sourced from their land and nearby restoration projects. We’re honored to be Zena’s first major customer, helping to lead the way in forest-to-floor practices. Explore the full story on pdxnext.com.

Last week, we hosted the incredible team from the Center for Sustainable Infrastructure (CSI) at the Port's Mass Timber Housing and Innovation Campus at Terminal 2. During their visit, we toured the campus and shared this amazing project where we’re planning to build the next generation of homes and businesses with local mass timber. The tour also gave us the opportunity to dive into the work of the Oregon Mass Timber Coalition and the vibrant Pacific Northwest TechHub initiatives. These collaborations are important to driving our mission to reduce carbon footprints and foster clean technology solutions. A big shout-out to CSI for their interest and enthusiasm in exploring how the Port of Portland is driving sustainable industrial development. We’re excited to see how our shared goals will shape the future of our community.

Splish Splash! The Dredge Oregon’s is making waves again on the Columbia River. Our dredge has kicked off the 2024 dredging season, clearing the riverbed of sand and gravel to keep our marine highways open and thriving. Fun fact: By the end of the season, the Dredge Oregon will have scooped up enough sediment to fill 700 Olympic-size swimming pools! That’s a lot of heavy lifting, all to support our region’s economy and keep our local businesses booming.

Exciting news! Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, Senator Ron Wyden, and Senator Jeff Merkley stopped by the future Mass Timber and Housing Innovation Campus at Terminal 2. They sat down with community leaders to discuss important topics impacting our region: housing, workforce opportunities, and climate resilience. They also presented the Port with a $4 million Community Project Funding award to drive this innovative project forward! We're thrilled to be at the forefront of developing housing solutions through the local mass timber industry. Thanks to your support, we’re making big changes happen.
