the nation’s largest outerwear manu­
facturer, plans to build a 150,000-
square-foot distribution facility in the
Port of Portland’s Rivergate Indus­
trial District to expand its growing
warehousing and distribution opera­

The Port of Portland Commis­
sion today approved Columbia’s re­
quest to purchase approximately 6.8
acres of land in Rivergate, together
with an option to purchase an addi­
tional 6.4 acres adjacent to the new

on North Lcadbetter Road, across from
the Port’s intermodal rail yard and
Terminal 6 container facilities.
“The Port of Portland’s mission
is to provide the best possible market
access for regional shippers, through
both its transportation facilities and
its developable real estate assets,” said
Terri Deskins, the Port’s business de­
velopment general manager. “Colum­
