Let’s Build it Tuesday! Have you noticed the large crane at the SAGE Center recently? Girders are being set in place for the new expansion! This expansion project at the SAGE Center is adding 15,150 square feet of much-needed convention space for our region. The project is paid for in part by State funding to support cultural arts and workforce training events. House Bill 2006, which was passed at the end of the 2021 Oregon Legislative session, appropriates $4.3 million for the construction of the facility. https://lnkd.in/gvh5mxGk #portofmorrow #ports #portindustry #portoperations #workingwaterfront #columbiariver #industry #oregonindustry #visitsage #workforcedevelopment #innovationandentreprenuership #workforce #economicdevelopment #jobready #workready #womenintrades #internships #apprenticeships #skilledtrades #jobopportunities #careerdevelopment
