February 2, 2026

The Port of Pasco has been awarded a $4,250,000 loan and $750,000 grant, totaling $5 million, from the Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) to support the Reimann Industrial Center North Watermain Project in Pasco. CERB funds are matched by $2,643,000 in local resources.

The funding will help advance the engineering and construction of a 16-inch ductile iron watermain around the perimeter of the 164-acre Reimann Industrial Center North development. The Port’s committed private partner, Cold Summit, plans to create 114 jobs at the Reimann and will invest $190 million in the project.

“The CERB investment is a critical step in preparing the Reimann for long-term success. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and the state’s continued confidence in the Port of Pasco’s economic development vision,” said Adam Lincoln, Executive Director of the Port of Pasco. “As we prepare for construction to begin in 2026, this investment lays the groundwork for high-quality jobs, private investment, and sustained economic growth in Pasco.”

CERB funding supports the public infrastructure communities need to unlock economic opportunity, attract private investment, and build long-term resilience. Projects funded by CERB commonly include broadband, water, and wastewater systems, port facilities, stormwater, and public buildings.

“CERB’s mission is to help local governments and tribes finance their vision for their future. Strategic infrastructure funding is a crucial building block for economic growth. CERB projects represent an

important partnership between the state and local communities, resulting in enhanced economic vitality,” said Janea Stark, Executive Director of the Community Economic Revitalization Board.
