Portfields - Pilot Ports

Bellingham Marina

The Portfields federal agencies selected three pilot ports and will provide targeted resources to assist and expedite the planning and implementation of brownfields cleanup and reuse. The pilots were chosen for their willingness to participate, unique set of needs, commitment to port redevelopment, innovative approaches to waterfront planning and revitalization, and overall value federal assistance would add to the redevelopment effort.
