Bremerton National Airport is home to 125 aircraft, and is a major asset for the future economic development of the Puget Sound region. Its 1,200 acres allow for growth of aircraft maintenance facilities and related businesses. Amenities available include hangar space, Avgas (truck and 24-hour self-service), Jet A fuel, a full service restaurant, aircraft maintenance, air charter, pilot training, air parcel service and other fixed base aviation support services. This property is zoned industrial and permitting is as efficient as at Olympic View Industrial Park.
Foreign Trade Zone Designation:
Over 500 acres of land at the Port's industrial park and airport are designated by the US Department of Commerce as a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). Users can benefit from delayed and reduced duty payments and in some cases, no payments on a wide variety of import and export activity. Warehousing, manufacturing, repackaging and assembly activities can all benefit financially from use of the FTZ.
The Port Orchard and Bremerton Marinas are award-winning recreational facilities that provide both permanent and guest moorage. The Port Orchard Marina, reconstructed in 1997-98 after the devastating 1996 winter storms, presents state-of-the-art accommodations and upgraded utilities to the permanent and guest boaters.
The Port Orchard and Bremerton Marinas draw high numbers of guest boaters every year and contribute approximately $1.5 million to the local economies. The cities of Port Orchard and Bremerton offer community events on the waterfront such as concerts and Farmer's Markets. This provides many shopping and entertainment opportunities within walking distance.
The Port of Bremerton has a strong relationship with its neighbors and local government. The Port plans projects and infrastructure that encourage today's businesses to flourish and future businesses to become established in Kitsap County. The promotion of tourism receives great attention in the Port's economic development activities.
