Kennedy Talks of Future of Area along Columbia
Tort of Morrows Industrial
site ts the finest site In the
State of Oregon owned by a
port commission or a develop
ment corporation.
This was the statement of Ru-
My Neighbors
Walt ril go ask her just
what my opinion la "
pert Kennedy, executive direct
or of the Mid-Columbia Wan
ning Council, who spoke to the
Ueppner-Morrow county Cham
ber of Commerce Monday on the
future of the area which has
frontage on the Columbia River
from Cascade Locks east.
"Your port commission has
done n very remarkable Job,"
he said.
Kennedy discussed waterfront
sites, navigation and touched on
industrial finance In his talk.
He described a waterfront
study that had been made of
the river and mentioned various
industrial sites available.
The Port of Hood River Is
doing a fine job on fill sites,
he declared. First large site up
the river Is Dallesport In Wash
ington, opposite The Dalles. A
total of 7,000 acres is available
there. This is very good water
front land but very rocky and
hard to fill, Kennedy said.
From this point, there are
very few sites until the mouth
of Willow Creek. There Is a
small site at Rufus in Sherman
county of some SO acres, but
the county has no port commis
sion, he said.
The Willow Creek site is a
good one, and there is a "very
liny" site at Blalock.
" Land and water are compat
ible in Morrow county," the dir
ector declared. "Things can ht
accomplished unlike any other
place in the State of Oregon."
A site at Tatterson Kerry is
still In negotiation with feder
al agencies, currently being held
for wildlife. Kennedy said that
efforts are being made to keep
the site under control of the
Army Corps of Knglneers for
future Industrial use. This Is
the onlv site In Morrow county
within the 15-mile bus bar rad
ius of McNary dam which would
provide advantages on power
and is a great asset for indus
trial development.
The Tort of Umatilla has 900
acres of level land, easy to work
with. Developments are expect
ed there soon with rail and wa
ter expansion programs now un
derway.
Relative to navigation, Ken
nedy said that a brochure had
been Issued by Mid-Columbia
Council In May to show the nec
essity of replacing the lock at
llonnevllle Dam and raising the
Bonneville pool from 71 to Ki
feet above sea level to promote
navigation. 'Pie Increased pool
would also Increase power gen
eration. Proposal is to enlarge
the locks to CM ft. by IHJ feet
and -10 ft. depth. Hazardous ap
proaches also should lie elimin
ated, he said.
At the same time he pointed
out that the 77 tulle John Day
dam pool will be the finest nav
igable stretch on the Columbia.
"It would handle the Queen
Mary," he declared.
The Umatilla reservoir of the
John Day dam will be longer
than The Dalles dam and Bon
neville dam pools combined.
Kennedy stressed the import
ance of development to provide
ols for young people In the
nation, stating that there are
now 90 million persons it) the
Culled States under 25 years of
nee approximately half the
population. It In vital to pro
vide basic Industries to supMrt
them, he said, since It Is lm
IHisslhle for them to find em
ployment In service Industrie
alone.
Kennedy, who worked with
the State lVpnrtment of Plan
ning and Development In neg
otiating for the Boeing trai t and
development, said Hint he has
faith In the future of the com
pany here,
"Hoeing picked up contract
recently for no oilier reason
than sheer excellence of erfor
mnnee on previous contracts ...
This Is a great company," he
declared.
Kennedy said thai when he
was working on the Boeing- pro
ject he found that there were
"no finer people anywhere" than
those In Morrow county.
"If they said they would do
something, they did It." he tie-
dared. Spirit of agencies in tho
county has been an outstand
ing example of cooperation, ho
added.
The 8eakor was Introduced
by President Herman Winter.
