Tri-Cities Airport Master Plan Update
The Tri-Cities Airport is undertaking an update to its 2000 Master Plan. This plan will provide information on historic and current airport activities, evaluate projected future airport activities, and identify a plan to direct and accommodate airport improvement and development – all in an effort to expand Tri-Cities Airport’s service to its users and its community. This website provides Plan information, opportunity for review, and opportunity for input.
Tri-Cities Airport Master Plan Update
Osprey Pointe
The Osprey Pointe is a unique 110 acre business park along the shores of the Columbia River in Pasco, Washington. The park, with ¾ mile
direct riverfront access and unobstructed views of the Columbia River, is intended to be a vibrant mixed-use community offering public waterfront trails and open
spaces alongside buildings for research and development companies, professional service firms, commercial activities, high technology businesses and light
manufacturing facilities.
Located at the intersection of Ainsworth Avenue and Oregon Avenue in Pasco, Washington, the high visibility park is just 2 miles from the Interstate 182
Highway 395 interchange and 5 miles from the Tri-Cities Airport offering excellent access by road or air.
The Port has pre-permitted the Osprey Pointe with an approved master plan, shoreline permit, and development agreement with the City of Pasco
already in place to assist private developers interested in building at the site. The anchor building for the park, a 2-story, 20,000 square foot brick and
glass office building, is currently being designed with construction scheduled to begin in March 2010 and ready for occupancy by early 2011. The anchor building and adjacent sites are available for lease or sale directly through the Port of Pasco.
The Port is committed to creating a park that utilizes the land to its highest and best use while providing public access and enjoyment of this valuable
community waterfront resource.

Big Pasco Industrial Center Intermodal Rail Hub Development
Project
Prior to September 2004, the Port of Pasco shipped containers almost
exclusively via barge on the Columbia River to the Port of Portland.
After September 2004, two of the shippers stopped calling on the Port
of Portland and instead required producers to haul their containers
to the Port of Tacoma by either truck or rail.
As a result, barge shipment
of containers out of the Port fell from 400 per month to less than
60 per month, while rail shipments grew from a maximum of 30 containers
per month to 200 containers per month.
