Mannix Makes Presentation in Regard to Proposed OSA

On September 22, 2016 our Project Director, Kevin L. Mannix, assisted by Connor Harrington, made a presentation to the Senate Committee on Transportation, outlining our proposed Oregon Trade and Shipping Development Act. The senators present were Chairman Sen. Lee Beyer, and committee members Sen. Chuck Riley, Sen. Chuck Thomsen, Sen. Fred Girod, and Sen. Rod Monroe. The presentation appeared to be well-received by the committee.

On the same day Mannix presented the proposed solutions to the Sentate Committee on Transportation, business groups made presentations to the House Committee on Agriculture. They outlined the challenges facing Oregon businesses based on the lack of container shipping at the Port of Portland because of increased costs and delays.
