# Port of Shelton 2027 Budget Presentation

The Port of Shelton presented its preliminary 2027 budget, with a public hearing scheduled for October 20 and the required newspaper notices beginning this week. The budget projects about $2.88 million in operating revenue and $2.4 million in operating expenses. Capital expenditures are projected at approximately $1.9 million, funded by about $1.2 million in Port cash and $730,000 in outside funding. The presentation cited anticipated revenue growth from new tenants and leases at Sanderson Field and John’s Prairie. No budget approval vote or procurement award was reported.

Planned capital work includes design for a south connector taxiway and a taxi-lane shift and extension at Sanderson Field, contingent on FAA and other funding approvals; rail work and site preparation at John’s Prairie for a potential tenant; and phased water-line replacements. The budget also carries $150,000 for routine Port-wide capital needs. Some existing projects are expected to be completed or carried forward. The presentation noted that grant funding accounts for about 17% of total revenue. The discussion was a preliminary budget review, with public comment to be taken at the scheduled hearing.
