The Port of Portland has a vital public mission to connect the region to
the national and global marketplace. Because we generate 97 percent of
our revenues from business transactions (only 3 percent of our revenue
comes from taxes), the success of our marine, aviation and real estate
business lines depends on our ability to attract and retain customers
locally, nationally and internationally. For every $1 collected in
property taxes by the Port, we generate $7.10 in property taxes through
business transactions. No property taxes are used for aviation-related
expenses.
The Port is an 800-employee, 24/7 operation with more than $1.6 billion
in marine and aviation transportation infrastructure and real estate
assets that generates nearly $250 million in annual revenues.
Many of our key customers such as shipping lines, railroads and airlines
are located outside of our region or outside of the U.S and are private
sector companies. We actively compete for their business. The investment
we make in building business relationships not only helps fulfill our
public mission, but also benefits the region we serve.
Business Development Results
We partner with the business community to aggressively and creatively
recruit new nonstop air services. Today, Portland is the smallest of
only 12 metro areas with both daily transatlantic and transpacific
nonstop service. Our international services to Tokyo, Frankfurt and
Amsterdam generate a total airport and visitor direct business revenue
in our region of $241.5 million.
Every ton of container cargo that comes through our marine terminals
generates a local economic impact of $70. We handled 2.8 million tons
last year for a $196 million impact. Each car that is brought to our
docks generates an economic impact of $318. We handled nearly 450,000
cars last year for an economic impact of approximately $143 million.
During both tough and good economic times, the business development work
we do helps pave the way for job creation and economic development for
our region.
