It Pays to Have a Port

The Port of Lewiston was formed in 1958 by the voters of Nez Perce County. In accordance with Idaho Code 70-1101, the Port oversees harbor operations, terminal facilities, international trade, and industrial and economic development.

Working in cooperation with the Nez Perce County, the City of Lewiston, and Valley Vision, a primary objective of the Port is to encourage economic growth to make the valley a competitive force in the regional marketplace. By doing so, we work together to improve employment opportunities and the standard of living within our community.
