HERMISTON — The city of Hermiston made significant progress toward a planned project in its South Hermiston Industrial Park after the federal Economic Development Administration announced a nearly $1.5 million grant to the city.

The city hopes to use the money to make the industry park along South Highway 395 more “shovel ready” to attract new development, creating 16 new parcels in the federally approved Opportunity Zone.
