  "We're in negotiations on selling 22 acres of port property for about $360,000," said Rebecca Chaffee, port manager."We've been working with Walt Mitchell for a number of months, and he has plans to build condos, a hotel and a conference center."
  
  Mitchell, who lives in Pacific County part-time, hails from California.
  
  While the Raymond Planning Commission has given the undertaking a preliminary green light, "We want to make sure everything's in order before we do a big (promotional) splash on this big project coming into town," said Chaffee."We're also working on environmental permitting."
  
  Still, Chaffee remains confident that the endeavor will come to fruition.
  
  "We're hoping to have some hotel units up by the end of 2006," she said.
  
  Chafee said the proposed site is property the port acquired when a sawmill went bankrupt, and the port has been open to proposals ever since.
  
  "We like the concept that Walt is doing a big development that will be coordinated, instead of breaking up the site for smaller businesses."
  
  Chaffee has high hopes that Mitchell's development will rekindle Raymond's economy.
  
  "We've lost a lot of our downtown businesses," she said."I think it will give a huge shot in the arm for our downtown economy by creating renewed interest in industrial and retail business."
  
  The Port of Willapa Harbor was once a major point of departure for the export of logs and lumber in the region.With changing market conditions, however, and environmental restrictions on timber harvest in the 1970s, as well as the economies of scale being achieved by much larger, more modern vessels and shipping facilities on Puget Sound and the Columbia River, the last log ship to visit the port sailed downriver in 1978, Chaffee said.As a result, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers no longer dredged the river and entrance to Willapa Bay, which limited access to relatively shallow draft vessels.
  
  These days the harbor is largely home to commercial fishing vessels and recreational boaters.Port facilities include an airport, industrial area, docks and marinas.
  
  "We've been one of the coastal areas that has been left out, but I think this project could change that," said Chaffee.

  Funk credited Willapa Harbor port manager Rebecca Chaffee in helping establish the six-port cooperative.
  ...
  Chaffee said that recently the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers told the small ports group it was unlikely they would be providing dredge funds to the individual ports any longer.
  
  "Individually we don't meet the Corps' cost-benefit matrix parameters," Chaffee said, "But if we band together we get closer to the economic benefit bench mark the Corps requires."
