Port, Clark College partnering on economic development at Terminal 1

The Port of Vancouver USA and Clark College have signed an agreement that opens the door to partnership at the port’s Terminal 1 waterfront redevelopment.

The port’s Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a memorandum of agreement at a regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday. The agreement is aimed at stimulating education, art and commerce, and creating a sense of place at Terminal 1, which most recently housed the Red Lion Hotel Vancouver at the Quay.

“This is another exciting step in keeping Terminal 1 active while we move through the planning and permitting processes for redevelopment,” said port CEO Todd Coleman in a press release. “Clark College is a great community partner, and we’re excited for the opportunities this brings for us, for the college and for future industry at the waterfront.”

“Being a partner with the Port of Vancouver provides dynamic learning opportunities,” added Clark College President Bob Knight. “We see a home at the port for future programming and are happy to connect Clark College to the revitalized waterfront.”

When fully developed, Terminal 1 could feature a public marketplace, new hotel, retail and commercial office space, and visitor amenities.
