Port Authority Contact Us 4250 Lake Ave. Ashtabula OH 44004 (440) 992-7118 Port Authority Home Industrial Park Port Projects Marinas and Places of Interest Port Projects Ashtabula City Industrial Park Built in 2007, the Ashtabula City Industrial Park offers 9 sites ranging from 1 to 16 acres. It is within ½ mile of a deep water port (Pinney Dock) and is traffic light-free from Route 11. Eligible companies may receive assistance from the County or City Revolving Loan Funds, Industrial Bonds, Community Reinvestment Tax Incentive and/or State Tax Incentives and Financing. More information can be found on our Industrial Park page . Transient Boat Dock The Port Authority’s Transient Dock features a free sanitary pump out station (the only one on Lake Erie), access to Bridge Street retailers and daytime docking visits (2 hour maximum). Overnight boaters will need to stay in one of the local marinas. The Transient Dock area is available for community functions as well. Dredging of the Ashtabula River In November, 2000, the Ashtabula City Port Authority agreed to serve as the Non-Federal Local Sponsor for the Ashtabula River dredging project. The plan for environmental dredging was prepared by the Ashtabula River Partnership. The project was approved under the authorization of the Great Lakes Legacy Act in 2005. Employing a dredge equipped with a 12 inch cutter head the sediments were pumped to a consolidation facility, where the sediments were contained, and the water was decontaminated and returned to the Ashtabula River. A similar dredge equipped with an 8 inch cutter head was used for both attaining final depth and cleanup standards. Following completion of the environmental dredging, Operation and Maintenance dredging was undertaken under authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Dredging was initiated in the fall of 2006 and completed during the summer of 2008, removing 630,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from the river. As a result of this project, the Ashtabula River now has a nominal depth of 22 feet, which, once again, accommodates commercial vessels for area industries. The combined projects have removed approximately 25,000 pounds of PCB’s, as well as other contaminants from the river. These two dredging projects cost about $75 million and nearly two decades of organization, planning and execution, resulting in the Ashtabula River returning to a clean harbor on Lake Erie, and a “river of many fish”. The Ashtabula River Remediation Action Plan Advisory Committee is currently working to delist the river as an Area of Concern. More information can be found about Ashtabula River 5 ½ Slip Restoration Effort here. The Manistee - The 600′ vessel unloads 7,000 tons of Marblehead limestone at R.W. Sidley’s. The Ashtabula River is now deep enough for lake boats of this size to deliver product to local businesses.

Port Authority Contact Us 4250 Lake Ave, Ashtabula OH 44004 (440) 992-7118 Port Authority Home Industrial Park Port Projects Marinas and Places of Interest Ashtabula City Port Authority Board of Directors Officers: Mark Brockway, Chairman Joseph Craine, Vice Chair Mary Church, Secretary Board Members: Brad Biro Gunar Luhta Ron Kister Brian Wells The Board meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month in the Council Chambers Building located at 4230 Lake Ave. Meetings begin at 8:00 a.m. and are open to the public. The City of Ashtabula was founded in 1796 by Moses Cleaveland, and Ashtabula Harbor has the distinction of being the first port on the Great Lakes to be officially surveyed. As the area became settled, private citizens raised the money needed for the first improvements to the Ashtabula Harbor and its river channel. By 1830, Ashtabula’s port was a hub of activity for many of the Great Lakes communities and, at one time, the port was considered to be the third largest receiving port in the world. The construction of the Pittsburgh, Youngstown and Ashtabula Railroad in 1873 helped to further the increase of ore and coal trade at the Ashtabula Harbor. In the 1960s the Ashtabula Harbor was the third largest iron ore port in the world. Today, the City of Ashtabula can be easily accessed by highways, rail and water. Interstate 90 (I-90) runs east/west and is located approximately 5 miles from the Ashtabula Harbor. The Interstate provides Ashtabula with regional access to major markets east and west of the City, such as Chicago and Buffalo. State Route 11 is a four-lane highway that runs north/south terminating at State Route 531. The Ashtabula City Industrial Park is located just to the east of where Route 11 terminates at the north. Route 11 extends south, providing additional access to major markets in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Rail service in Ashtabula is provided by Norfolk Southern and CSX. Lake boats and large vessels have access to docks via Kinder Morgan, R.W. Sidley and Norfolk Southern. Commodities handled through the Port of Ashtabula include coal (exported), iron ore, sand, gravel, stone and limestone (imported). The other eight Lake Erie ports handle similar type commodities including steel, grain, fertilizers and chemicals.

Historic Ashtabula Harbor Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area. Historic Harbor DORA A Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) is a special zone in the Historic Harbor District in the City of Ashtabula where you can buy alcoholic drinks from participating bars and restaurants and enjoy them outside within the DORA.

A map of the district is located on this page as well. Enjoy the Harbor! Feel free to sip your drink while walking along the district, sitting at the transient dock enjoying the sights of the river and passing boats or while shopping with our merchants. Look for the green "Bring it In" signs for establishments allowing DORA drinks inside. Help keep the District clean! Once your drink is finished, throw away your DORA cup. If you visit another liquor establishment or a store with a red "Beverages not Permitted" sticker, you will need to dispose of your cup before entering. Trash receptacles are located along the district. Dos' and Don'ts in the DORA... DORA drinks must go outside DORA drinks cannot be consumed inside the bar or restaurant where they were purchased.
