During the past year the port,
working closely with ODOT, a

has identified different transpor

capable of reasonably meeting
the transportation needs for the
speedway, according to a press
release from the port.
The property, owned by the
port, is located four miles west of
Boardman near the port's airport.
The speedway development pro
posal includes a 1.95 mile asphalt
track and multiple recreation re
lated facilities.
"The Oregon Motor
Speedway proposal is a signifi

fresh and exciting recreational
opportunities together with eco
nomic opportunities and benefits
for the city of Boardman, Mor
row County, and the state of Ore
gon", said Mark Greenfield, land
use consultant for the Port of
Morrow. "It is the motorsport
equivalent of locating a major
league baseball or National Foot
ball League team in Oregon. The
Port of Morrow', in conjunction
with Racing Unlimited, Inc., is
pleased and excited to bring this
matter before Morrow County for
land use review and approval.”
