Port of Vancouver approves budget for 2017

The Port of Vancouver’s Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved the port’s tax levy and 2017 budget.

During a board meeting last week, the commission voted to hold the port levy steady for the fifth year in a row, meaning annual taxes on a $295,000 home (the median price in Clark County) will be approximately $89 in 2017.

The port’s budget for 2017 is $85.2 million, an increase of $8.3 million over 2016.

According to port officials, the increase is mainly due to a $40 million capital program that supports the completion of the port’s West Vancouver Freight Access project, construction of new facilities and ongoing maintenance of port assets.
