With input from community members, customers, business leaders and employees, the Port developed a strategic plan in 2012 to guide our actions over the next 10 years. We tallied solid progress in the first year toward the 10 targets in 10 years, the measures of the plan's success that include specific cargo volume measures, income for reinvestments, environmental commitments and jobs. The document was updated in 2013 to provide further focus and clarity to the initiatives detailed in the plan. The essence of our strategic plan focuses on four areas that build on our specific strengths to make better connections. 1. Strategic investments We will make strategic investments that enhance the Port’s waterway, terminal, road, rail and industrial property infrastructure to create the most efficient, productive and cost-effective system possible to move our customers’ freight to the marketplace. 2. New business opportunities To create opportunity for future investments, we will focus attention on attracting new business opportunities with healthy income streams and increase the diversity of the Port’s business portfolio. 3. Customer care We’re serious about our tagline “People. Partnership. Performance.” We will continue to demonstrate great care for our business relationships with customers and key stakeholders. 4. Community pride Business development, environmental stewardship and livable communities go hand in hand. We continually hear that our community’s support of the Port and trade-related jobs is a key competitive advantage. We intend to grow the Port responsibly to ensure continued trust in our collective future.
