Port sets dates for popular public tour program
Aberdeen, WA – The Port of Grays Harbor will again proudly partner with Grays Harbor Transit to offer public tour attendees the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at the Terminal 4 Expansion & Redevelopment Project that is nearly complete.
The 90-minute experience kicks off with an overview presentation of the Port and its facilities before heading out for a bus tour of the Port’s deep-water marine terminals and industrial properties. This year’s attendees will get a behind the scenes look at the Terminal 4 Expansion & Redevelopment Project as AGP’s new export facility begins operations later this summer. The year’s dates also include a Saturday morning option.
The transformational T4 Expansion Project includes construction of a new AGP export facility at Terminal 4B which will create 80 full-time, family-wage jobs when operational in Q3 2026. To support AGP’s private investment in a second export facility, the Port constructed 47,500 feet of rail within the marine terminal complex and made major upgrades to the T4 dock, including construction of a new fendering system and a stormwater collection and treatment system. The project also added more than 30 acres of upland cargo laydown area by developing the former SR520 casting basin into the new East Cargo Yard to support ongoing and future operations at Terminal 4A.
Marine Terminal Tours will be held on:
Monday, June 29 4-5:30pm
Thursday, July 16 4-5:30pm
Monday, July 27 4-5:30pm
Wednesday, August 26 4-5:30pm
Saturday, August 29 10-11:30am
