With inventory low, Hermiston seeks to increase industrial land acreage

In just four years, the city of Hermiston has seen its inventory of available large industrial land ready for development shrink to zero.

“We’ve seen gangbuster industrial land sales in the last four years,” Hermiston Assistant City Manager Mark Morgan told the council during the Monday, Feb. 27, Hermiston City Council work session. “In 2018, the city and its partners were sitting on the neighborhood of 250-300 acres of shovel ready, site-certified industrial land. Hermiston currently has zero large acreage industrial land available for development.”
