Advantages of investment felt far and wide

Port of Morrow

The Port of Morrow in Boardman now has four railroad tracks running through it instead of one. It also has an additional 500 acres available for rail users and others interested in industrial opportunities. Located on the Columbia River near Boardman, the port has received several Connect Oregon grants, including one in 2017, and its presence is a boon to the area.


Sven Johnson

June 21 is Public Service Day

In honor of Public Service Day, we'd like to introduce you to Sven Johnson with our Commerce and Compliance Division. 

"ODOT Commerce and Compliance Division has opened my eyes to the world of freight transportation and I love it," said Johnson. "The trucking industry, in particular, is fascinating. Many companies are small business owners and employ drivers from all different backgrounds and walks of life. I love that the industry is changing and evolving at a rapid pace which keeps me engaged at work and on my toes!"

Thanks for your service, Sven. Meet more public servants on our Facebook and LinkedIn pages.
