BACKGROUND
In spring 2021, the Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority (CDRPA) completed an adaptive reuse feasibility study for an 8-acre, partially constructed site previously leased by Giga Watt for a block chain facility. The Giga Watt block chain server project was never completed, and the site remains in partial development status. Based on the results of the study and receiving two key grants, the CDRPA is transforming this site into a productive asset for the community by modifying and completing development to serve businesses with a special emphasis in serving underserved businesses.
