implementation of the project referenced above, including, project design,
engineering, and project-specific land use and environmental permitting.
4.The Commission of the Port of Port Townsend acknowledges that the grant
assistance, if approved, will be paid on a reimbursement basis, meaning that the Port
will only request payment from the Jefferson County Administrator after eligible and
allowable costs have been incurred and payment remitted to the Port's vendors.
5.The Commission of the Port of Port Townsend acknowledges the criteria to be used
by the Public Infrastructure Fund Board in evaluating project applications, and
expressly finds as follows:
a.The project has a high probability of creating and retaining jobs within the
Airport Overlay III zone (in the Airport Essential Public Facility (AEPF)
zone at JCIA), with an estimated 20 existing jobs likely to be supported, and
up to 120 new jobs likely to be created by completing the 24-acre Eco
Industrial Park Development; and
b.The project directly supports the local economy by expanding the area and
infrastructure needed for the light manufacturing sector of our local
economy to flourish, while at the same ti.me improving the financial
performance of the Jefferson County International Airport (an essential
public facility); and
c.The project will assist in retaining and creating jobs that sustain and enhance
natural resource and value-added manufacturing, thereby enhancing an
economic sector long identified by local policy plans as essential to
preserving community character; and
d.The project is consistent with, and helps to implement, locally adopted
project priorities; and
e.The proposed project will confer multiple benefits, including: expanding
light industrial areas supported by adequate infrastructure, thereby providing
new employment opportunities in unincorporated Jefferson County, and
diversifying the range of trades, types of manufacturing, and services hosted
at the JCIA, consistent with Plan Policy ED-P-3.1.
6.This resolution becomes part of a formal application to the Public Infrastructure
Fund Board for grant assistance.
7.The public was provided with an appropriate opportunity to comment on this
application.
