The Ventura County Harbor Department is moving for The Ventura County Harbor Department is moving forward with a multi-phase project to redevelop its headquarters site, which will house administrative and patrol staff, and will include a hearing/community room. The building will be located at 3900 Pelican Way in Oxnard, on the site of the former headquarters. The original Harbor Department headquarters, constructed in 1968 and vacated in 2018, remained in disrepair after hazardous materials abatement. After the abatement in 2018, administrative and patrol staff moved into portable trailers nearby. This redevelopment effort modernizes essential Harbor operations and prepares the site for a new facility to better serve the public.
