Port of Grays Harbor Deputy Executive Director Leonard Barnes was recently re-appointed to the Washington State Freight Mobility Investment Board (FMSIB) as a Port District Representative by Washington State Governor Jay Inslee.
Mr. Barnes was originally appointed in April 2017. The 12-member Board is charged with creating a comprehensive and coordinated state program to facilitate freight movement between and among local, national and international markets which enhances trade opportunities. The Board is also charged with finding solutions that lessen the impact of the movement of freight on local communities.
“With more than three decades of experience in freight, transportation and the port industry, Leonard is well-suited to represent Ports on this important Board,” stated Port of Grays Harbor Executive Director Gary Nelson. “We are proud and confident that Leonard will be a strong advocate for ports and the multimodal transportation system we all rely on to safely and efficiently move freight throughout our State and beyond.”
