Two local projects funded by state grants
Money for
storm damage,
new hangar
By EDWARD STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
Two local infrastructure
projects have received state
grant funding.
The state Transporta-
tion Committee on Fri-
day approved $1.54 million
to help the Port of Asto-
ria repair storm damage
throughout the central water-
front, and $665,000 for Life
Flight Network to build a
new hangar at the Astoria
Regional Airport.
Executive Director Jim
Knight said the Port will
have to pitch in $600,000 on
the ConnectOregon grant,
which requires a one-third
local match. The Port’s origi-
nal intent was to use the state
grant to help repair 30,000
square feet of dock on the
western side of Pier 2, where
fi shermen go to transfer
their catch to seafood pro-
cessors. But Knight said the
Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency decided
Pier 2 should be included
in areas needing repair after
being damaged in December
storms. He said the hope is to
use the ConnectOregon grant
as a local match on funding
from FEMA, and vi ce versa.

The Port of Astoria has received $1.54 million from the state Department of Transporta-
tion’s ConnectOregon infrastructure grant program. The money will be used as a local
match for funding from Federal Emergency Management Agency to repair storm damage
on Pier 2, seen above, and throughout the central waterfront.
“Our estimates originally
were in the range of $10 mil-
lion,” Knight said of the storm
damage claims the Port turned
into FEMA.
The $10 million encom-
passes seven separate projects,
he said, and includes a projected
$2.2 million project to repair the
western side of Pier 2.
The state funded 39 mul-
timodal projects worth $49.5
million for Connect Oregon
VI. Dedicated to non high-
way projects, ConnectOregon
was fi rst approved by the state
Legislature in 2005 and has
funded more than 180 marine,
aviation, public transit, bicy-
cle, pedestrian and rail proj-

appointment went to the scene
but was unable to locate the
vessel because of heavy fog.
The Coast Guard utilized a
cell phone ping, sounding
horns and good Samaritans to
locate the mariner, who was
suffering from hypothermia.
The Coast Guard helicop-
ter hoisted and transferred the
man to medical personnel at
Air Station Astoria. The mar-
iner was reported in stable
condition.

ects with more than $380 mil-
lion in lottery-backed bonds.
The Port has received funding
for runway rehabilitation at
the Astoria Regional Airport
and the rebuilding of a dock
on the eastern side of Pier 2.
The Port’s most recent
grant application had initially
looked unlikely to make the
fi nal cut, but gained momen-
tum and barely squeaked in
after Knight and state Sen.
Betsy Johnson stumped for the
project in Salem. “We would
not have been able to get this
without help from Sen. John-
son,” Knight said.
More than a year ago, Life
Flight Network established
its fi rst coastal base at the a ir-
port, operating out of a mobile
offi ce and living space. The
base in Warrenton covers the
coast from Aberdeen, Wash-
ington, to Tillamook, airlifting
patients to hospitals.
“I’m really happy for Life
Flight, too,” Knight said. “This
will help them more than dou-
ble their crewing capacity.”
Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation. Temperature bands are highs for the day.
