The U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration provided notice of preliminary selection for the Port of Port Angeles\u2019 application for $2 million to retrofit a building to house the industrial and workforce training facilities for the Composite Recycling Technology Centre (CRTC).<\/p>\n
Port Angeles has been selected for a $2 million federal grant to create a reprocessing centre to convert composite waste streams into useful products to create jobs and income, while reducing negative environmental impact. For example, Peninsula College students have been making I-beams in their classroom lab, and these could be utilised for applications such as solar panel mounts.<\/p>\n
Governor Jay Inslee said.<\/p>\n
We committed $712,000 from the Clean Energy Fund as a partial match for this project which is another example of how clean technology could create job opportunities. This is a local community taking its economic future in its own hands. They\u2019ve established a vision, partnered early and often with the state Department of Commerce. I am proud to see the Port achieving this milestone and look forward to continue our work together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The federal award is contingent upon providing additional documentation, including firm commitments to the Port for the $2 million match requirement. Less than two business days after receipt of the Federal notice, the Clallam County Board of Commissioners took action to provide $1 million in Opportunity Funds to the Port for the necessary infrastructure. The Port now has the remaining matching funds committed for this $4 million infrastructure investment to support innovative manufacturing utilising composite scrap materials.<\/p>\n
These announcements come less than a month after the Port briefed U.S. Department of Commerce Assistant Secretary Jay Williams about the recycling centre at meeting arranged by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). PSRC led the effort to secure a federal \u201cInvesting in Manufacturing Communities Partnership\u201d designation \u2013 one of only 12 in the country \u2013 that partners like Port Angeles can use to get priority for federal funding like the $2 million U.S. EDA grant. This recycling centre project was chosen as one of just six Catalytic Investments in the state\u2019s winning designation.<\/p>\n
The Port facility is planned to be open as soon as January 2016 and will house the CRTC and Peninsula College\u2019s Advanced Manufacturing \u2013 Composites program. Economic Impact Analysis for the CRTC estimates the centre would provide 111 jobs by its fifth year of operation. By the sixth year, an additional 89 jobs will be created in advanced composites as products are spun off to the private sector. An additional 140 jobs will be supported elsewhere in the economy as a result of these new productive enterprises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
