Port receives grant for broadband internet study

The Washington State Department of Commerce Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) recently awarded four organizations, including the Port of Camas-Washougal, with grants to help fund feasibility studies for economic development projects.

The Port received a $50,000 grant to fund a study for its “Southeast 41st Street Broadband Planning Project,” which it hopes will bring high-speed broadband internet service to rural constituents and improved broadband service for the entire Port district, according to a news release.
