Portage Advantage
The Portage County Port Authority (PCPA), created by the Portage County Board of Commissioners, provides an additional economic development tool for Portage County.
Because of our tax-exempt status, the Portage County Port Authority can pass savings on to economic development projects. That makes more projects possible. The PCPA can also:
- Loan monies at competitive rates and terms
- Acquire and sell property to economic development projects
- Own, lease, sell, and construct improvements to real property
- Issue revenue bonds for port authority facilities
- Receive federal and state grants and loans and other public funds
These are just a few of many benefits provided to Portage County by the PCPA.
