Facility Expansion: Kalama

Kalama: Port Awards Contract for Warehouse Construction to Accommodate Business Growth

The Port of Kalama’s board of commissioners has awarded a contract for the construction of thousands of feet of new warehouse space. The $4.5 million contract includes a 17,500 square foot warehouse and a 45,214 square foot building to allow for the business expansion of two port tenants, Steelscape and NW Innovation Works.

Steelscape, a national supplier of metallic-coated and pre-painted steel, is scheduled to move into the larger facilities to expand its product lines. NW Innovation Works, a multi-national partnership focused on methanol production and distribution, will expand to the 37,150 square foot warehouse now occupied by the steel company.

Construction is expected to start at the end of the year and run for eight months. General business activity at the port will not be interrupted during this time.
