The Port of Tacoma and the City of Fife have entered an interlocal agreement that is the latest step in the development of a $50 million project that is meant to improve freight mobility and traffic flow from the tideflats to Interstate 5 by expanding capacity of the Port of Tacoma Road interchange.
“Over the past decade, the Port of Tacoma experienced strong growth in containerized cargo, adding nearly 2 million tons of international containerized cargo and fueling over 1,800 direct jobs at Port marine terminals,” according to the staff report.
The commission unanimously approved the deal last Thursday.
