Automobile imports generate the most revenue of all commodities handled at the port, which officials said represents jobs and spending in the local economy.
“Our 21-year partnership with Subaru is not only important to us here at the port, but also to the community,” said Todd Coleman, port CEO. “Roughly $300 from every vehicle delivered to the port gets reinvested in Washington and Oregon.”
Approximately 200 jobs at the port are supported by automobile delivery and processing.
Subaru of America signed its first lease with the Port of Vancouver in December 1992. Earlier this summer, the port and Subaru reached an agreement to continue their partnership through 2035.
