Il porto di Portland avvia un programma per coinvolgere le piccole imprese nelle attività portuali

Il porto di Portland nell'Oregon, nell'ambito del Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Policy, ha avviato lo Small Business Development Program, che ha l'obiettivo di coinvolgere nei business portuali le piccole imprese e le aziende controllate da delle minoranze, per permettere loro di beneficiare delle opportunità offerte dallo scalo.
Nell'Oregon le piccole imprese, con meno di 500 dipendenti, rappresentano il 57,8% del numero totale di posti di lavoro nello Stato (dati 2000).

Nel primo quadrimestre di quest'anno il porto di Portland ha movimentato oltre 3,5 milioni di tonnellate di merci, con un calo del 5,1% rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2001.
