Mission:
The three-member Board of Commissioners works towards the advancement of economic development, transportation and water recreation. The Port of Bremerton's jurisdiction covers portions of the west and south half of Kitsap County, WA. A central purpose of the Port is to manage and develop its properties to induce new capital investment and to encourage economic development and create employment.
Port of Bremerton Properties:
The Port of Bremerton owns and operates Olympic View Industrial Park, Bremerton National Airport, the Port Orchard Marina and the Bremerton Marina.
The Port of Bremerton owns and operates Olympic View Industrial Park, Bremerton National Airport, the Port Orchard Marina and the Bremerton Marina.
Adding basic infrastructure is the primary focus of the Port's work. One area of concentration will be the remediation of the former landfill and mobile home park site. This site remediation will provide over 20 acres of development sites on two terraces facing the Olympic Mountain range.
Northeast Campus is the first new business campus to evolve out of the basic fabric of the original 1970's road and utility system in the industrial park. Phase I development will include eight building sites, a road extension and utilities. Future build-out of the 29-acre campus will create over 20 building sites.
Olympic View Industrial Park offers 560 acres of industrial property, some with rail frontage. Over 35 businesses occupying 80 acres and 310,000 square feet of building space now call Olympic View Industrial Park home. The existing infrastructure will accommodate only 30 more acres. Additional roads and utility systems will require significant funding in coming years to make the remaining acreage fully available. The industrial park carries an industrial comprehensive plan and zoning designation. The Park will act as a catalyst to the diversification of the economy by attracting new industries to Kitsap County.
Competitive operating costs combined with a supportive building permit process, assistance with industrial development revenue bonds, developer services and aggressive lease practices are some of the economic development tools and benefits offered by the Port. Designated properties in the industrial park, as well as the adjacent Bremerton National Airport, offer the benefits of a Foreign Trade Zone. These properties are one hour from the deep-water ports of Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia and just ten minutes by air to SeaTac International Airport.
Bremerton National Airport, serving corporate and general aviation, is ideal for corporate jet hangars and aviation business and maintenance operations. Adjacent to Olympic View Industrial Park, Bremerton National's 6,200-ft runway is equipped with an instrument landing system, pilot controlled approach lighting and a non-directional beacon, and is capable of accommodating most Boeing 727, 737 and 757 aircraft.
