 News Release from USS Ranger Foundation The USS Ranger Foundation has selected the Chinook Landing as the site for the Ranger.Chinook
Landing is within the city of Fairview, Oregon on the Columbia River. It's just west of the 1st National Scenic Area
at the entrance to the Columbia Gorge. Many have asked if Ranger can make it up river to Chinook Landing and the
answer is YES! It won't be easy, but Ranger will make it through the bridges and the channel is deep enough. .
This location will bring needed jobs, tourists and
a positive economic impact to our local economy. The Foundation is working towards a September 3rd Phase II application
submission and still has much work to do.
. Thanks to the Visitor Development Fund, a part of Travel Portland, the Foundation was able to fully
fund the Marketing / Feasibility update and 25% of the Environmental Study. The Foundation is now working to raise the
other 75% needed to complete the Environmental Study and you can help in this effort.
. Many of you know the importance of saving this Super Carrier
as a museum and memorial, creating a positive economic impact that will affect the entire Portland Metropolitan area as well
as Southwest Washington, and creating jobs for area residents. Your show of support and financial assistance will help
save the Ranger and you will become a part of history and the largest floating museum in the world. Contact the USS
Range Foundation (rangerinfo@ussranger.org or www.ussranger.org) for information on how you can assist and contribute to this cause.
.
Thank you,
Captain Peter W Ogle USN (Ret)
President and
CEO, USS Ranger Foundation
