The work is designed to lead to the publication of a report and one or more public forums, to be completed within six months. The Port's sponsorship will allow the program to get underway before the end of 2012. This research will inform the Port, regional decision-makers and the general public about the Port's facilities and long-standing Port, maritime sector and Duwamish MIC transportation assets, needs and concerns, and how those assets, needs and concerns are linked to the Port's, the City of Seattle's and King County's continued economic success. The report will present findings and recommendations on freight and traffic improvements that will be necessary to support the continued vitality of the Port and the manufacturing and industrial sectors, which support thousands of jobs in our region. Dave Gering, the Executive Director of the Duwamish TMA, will brief the Commission on this project. OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BRIEFING: Duwamish TMA PowerPoint.
