In a press release, port officials said the facility will focus on the area’s history as a regional commercial and transportation hub, and will be designed to resemble a traditional waterfront warehouse of the 1800s.
“Kalama has a rich history, and the Interpretive Center will illuminate historically how transportation has helped position the port as a contributor to the local economy, and how our roots have created what we are today,” said Troy Stariha, commission president of the Port of Kalama. “In addition, with growing business opportunities and development, the port has outgrown its current facilities. A new administrative office enables us to provide even more efficient services to our Port businesses, and the Interpretive Center offers the community and visitors a quality destination to explore.”
The new facility was designed by Collins Architectural Group of Longview.
