Coos Bay looks to shipping as its future economic engine after decline of timber

Coos Bay is pivoting towards shipping as a key economic driver following the decline of its timber industry. The Port of Coos Bay is spearheading a significant $2.3 billion project to establish a deep-water terminal that will facilitate the transport of goods from across the Pacific Ocean. This initiative aims to revitalize the local economy and create new job opportunities in the region.
