The Port of Portland鈥檚 International Terminal redevelopment project has turned heads for breathing new life into a former brownfield. Now it鈥檚 winning awards too.
Port Commissioner Walter Church, representing the agency, took center stage during the 2013 national brownfields conference in Atlanta to accept a Phoenix Award. Church was joined by Karen Homolac, a brownfield program specialist with the Oregon Business Development Department, and Day CPM Services鈥� Joshua Dodson. Day CPM served as the port鈥檚 owner representative and provided project and construction management for the redevelopment.
The Phoenix Award is presented to brownfield redevelopment and revitalization projects that show a high degree of excellence. Projects are judged on a list of criteria that includes the magnitude of the problems associated with the project, the use of innovative techniques to solve those problems, the positive impact of the project on the environment, and the project鈥檚 long-term economic and social impacts on the community.
