Since this is critical infrastructure for , you'd think the State would subsidize it.

"The Port of Portland says it cannot afford to keep the state’s only shipping container terminal open past September after a deal with a third-party operator fell through. Despite more business, costs have gone up, pushing the port’s container facility into the red.
The Port of Portland has lost more than $30 million during the past three years, the agency stated in a news release in March. That includes a projected $14 million shortfall for this year."

Something I don't quite understand about the article & likely, the economic situation, please?

"The loss marks a blow to the region’s economy and makes Portland the largest city on the West Coast without close proximity to container service. "

Isn't Port of Vancouver USA literally 3 miles away as the crow flies?
