Looks like we might be getting a new ammo maker in my area. It would be cool if they posted some information here so we can support a local business.

Port signs lease with ammunition manufacturer
Insurance settlement will pay for remodeling

A manufacturer of hunting ammunition is expected to move into the Port of Camas-Washougal Industrial Park in August.
Washougal River Cartridge Company has signed a five-year lease to locate in Building 10, which will be remodeled. During the first year, the company will pay $2,110, plus 12.84 percent leasehold tax, per month.
Washougal River Cartridge Company plans to start with two full-time and two part-time employees, according to Port Planning and Development Director Scot Walstra. Building 10 has been vacant for 31/2 years, since Advanced Drainage Systems expanded its operations and relocated its corporate office to Vancouver.
In December 2008, a frozen pipe broke causing a water leak and damage to part of the building. The port has received an insurance payment of $110,000 to repair the damage. That money, as well as budgeted funds, will be spent to re-roof and remodel the building to include partial office and light manufacturing space.
The port received 13 bids for the remodeling project. Larry O. Collins, Inc., of Vancouver, was the apparent low bidder ($177,200 plus 8.2 percent sales tax), as approved by the port commission during its May 18 meeting.
