Improvements to face of Pier 2 Coming to a Close Astoria, Oregon -- Utilizing a $932,000 Connect II grant from the State of Oregon, a majority of work on upgrading the deep water berth at Port of Astoria Pier 2 North Face has been completed. Work included installation of piling and replacing the concrete reinforced deck. Upgrading this berth has regained approximately 425 feet of docking space and the work was completed by Bergerson Construction Company. The photo above shows the ship Atlantis, the first to arrive at the upgraded dock on June 23. |

Improvements to the Chinook Building Have Also Been Completed
|
The property has been vacant since 2006 when plans were unfolding to develop the Astoria Conference Center. The Conference Center is no longer a viable option, so the Port of Astoria commission has directed executive director Jack Crider to proceed with the improvements. New and returning tenants to the building include Astoria Real Estate, Astoria Tax Consultants, Ray Raihala/Grange Insurance Group, Tiki Charters, World Class Fishing, and soon the managerial offices for the Bridgewater Bistro. The Chinook building is pictured above.
The next phase of improvements will focus on the adjacent Thunderbird building, former location of Red Lion’s SeaFare Restaurant. That building has been vacant since 2003 and contains a commercial kitchen, waterfront dining room and lounge, as well as coffee shop. The Thunderbird building is pictured here.
