Golob Landing
In 2003 the Port of Sunnyside approved a Master Development Plan for the 106-acre site located adjacent of East Edison Road in Sunnyside, Washington. This step was taken to help fulfill the Port's economic development mission within its district. By offering planned industrial sites to real estate market, the Port would generate income through land sales while enhancing the local economic conditions largely through the creation of new jobs. Later in 2003 the City of Sunnyside approved a Planned Unite Development ("PUD") designation for the Property. This land use action provides entitlements which allow the Port to develop the property in accordance with the Plan. The project started construction in July of 2008 and was completed the spring of 2009.

Pink Barn Revitalization project was set into motion to refurbish the Port''s barn out on the Sunnyside Mabton Highway. It was a cooperative effort by the Port of Sunnyside and the Miss Sunnyside Committee to refurbish it. The Miss Sunnyside Committee''s interest in the barn comes from their Miss Sunnyside Float being housed and the barn gives the Miss Sunnyside Committee, Parents, and Court a place to work on their float from year to year.

Midvale Road Improvement Project
The Port of Sunnyside began the planning and engineering of this project in 1997. At this time it was recognized that certain improvements were required for development to occur in this area. In 1999, Gov. Locke enacted an initiative that was designed to provide funding for projects such as the one the Port envisioned. The Port was the first to submit and application and to have a project funded. The Port was first because planning and preliminary engineering was in place and complete and the project was ready to go.
This project was funded by several funding sources they are as follows:
| State REVCERB | $ 3,136,912 grant |
| Yakima County SIED | $ 550,000 50% grant & 50% loan |
| Sunnyside Valley Irrigation | $ 250,000 in-kind contribution |
| Port of Sunnyside | $ 50,000 in-kind and cash |
| Land Right of Way | $ 20,000 proerty owner donations |
| TOTAL | $ 4,006,912 |
This project is a testament to what can happen when governments and the public work together. With the help of our many partners this road was transformed from a two lane road with a safety concern (paralleling an open irrigation ditch) to a three lane “farm to market” arterial with curb, sidewalks and lighting and no major safety issues.
