A unique rail-to-barge grain facility at Oregon's Port of Morrow is expanding with help from a $2.1 million grant recently approved by state transportation officials. The Morrow County Grain Growers cooperative won approval from the Oregon Transportation Commission for funding that will cover about two-thirds of the project's $3 million cost. The facility is the only one of its kind along the Columbia River that can unload grain from rail cars into barges headed for downstream export elevators. The grant is still waiting to be approved by the MCCG s board, since members will have to come up with one-third of the final cost. The Port of Morrow is the port authority for Boardman, Ore., on the Columbia River. |
