“Port of Olympia Finance Director Kevin Ferguson reported historically high financial results for the nine months ending with the third quarter 2009 at the regular Port Commission meeting this week.

‘For the first nine months, the Port is showing historic highs and we expect this trend to continue through year end,’ said Ferguson.

‘These financial results, particularly in these tough economic times, are encouraging and are headed in the right direction,’ said Ed Galligan, executive director of the port. ‘The financial goals are unchanged: To continue to maximize cash flow from the Port’s operating units, tightly manage expenses, and invest wisely to maintain and grow the positive economic impact for the county taxpayers,'” quoting the Business Examiner.
