Puget Sound Rope plans expansion

This is an architect’s drawing of a new office space proposed for Cortland Puget Sound Rope, one of the Port’s largest tenants. Plans call for the Port to build the expanded space on “O” Avenue, west of the existing production facility.

Under terms of the proposal, the Port of Anacortes would construct the expanded administrative office space and lease it back to PSR.

This project is motivated by Puget Sound Rope’s desire to convert office space in the existing building into additional space for the manufacture of industrial rope and yacht braid. The new construction project would create additional space for inhouse sales and marketing staff.

If approved by the commissioners, plans call for the Port to finalize design plans and go out for bid in January 2011. The new office space would be attached to the existing manufacturing facility, with a front entry on “O” Avenue. PSR currently employs 54 people.
