The Confluence project is steadily taking shape! In this image, you can observe the future bus turnaround, the parking area on the left, and the foundation for walkways adjacent to the building. Cheers to progress!

Happy Thanksgiving! Please note that the Port of Lewiston Administrative Office will be closed Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29.

Port General Manager Scott Corbitt had the privilege of participating in the "All River Matters: Columbia-Snake River" panel at the 2024 Tri-State Grain Growers Convention held this week in Coeur d'Alene. This organization represents the agricultural interests of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

To all veterans, thank you for your service.

Ground has officially been broken at our Confluence Riverfront, the future location of Idaho's first cruise boat dock. The team from M.L. Albright & Sons, the project's contractor, is busy dismantling and removing old concrete structures and foundations. The dock is expected to be ready for the 2025 cruise boat season.

Congratulations to Joseph Anderson on his reelection as District 2 Port Commissioner. His term will continue until 2030. We are truly fortunate to have an individual of Joe's exceptional caliber serving our Port and community.

Congratulations to Jessi McLean, owner of G&E Essentials, for being awarded an Idaho State Trade Expansion Program Grant! This grant, partially funded by the US Small Business Administration, aims to boost the number of small businesses engaging in exports. It will cover most of the expenses for Jessi's participation in an upcoming trade show in Las Vegas this June. One of our favorite “incubator” success stories, Jessi has transformed her business from crafting bath products for her daughters to offering a diverse range of all-natural items. We are truly honored to be a part of her journey.

A dedicated group of advocates, including Port General Manager Scott Corbitt, gathered in Washington DC to defend the Lower Snake River Dams. Representing agriculture, tourism, and shipping, they met with lawmakers from both parties to counter misinformation about breaching the dams and to highlight the potential devastation to the industries and communities that rely on them.
