MOSES LAKE — Port of Moses Lake commissioners cut the ribbon Monday on the new maintenance facility completed this spring.
“It’s the new storage building for our maintenance department,” said Facilities Director Milton Miller. “Currently, we store excess equipment in a building that we want to tear down.”
The $1.4 million building was funded entirely by the port and is about 8,000 square feet.
The cost was higher than initially estimated, Miller told port commissioners at the May 13 meeting. Additional electrical work was needed, as well as work to meet updated building codes.
