Why does the public have to fund HarborWorks?
HarborWorks is pursuing all sources of funding, including at the state and federal levels. Currently the Port, City and if approved, the State Department of Ecology, are funding HarborWorks. HarborWorks has asked for funding from Rayonier, however this may not be appropriate, given that HarborWorks will be pursuing the purchase of the site and negotiating major agreements with Rayonier in the public interest.
