Port of Coos Bay

06/10/2026

One of our favorite parts of Wednesdays in downtown Coos Bay? Seeing community organizations connect with people at the Farmers Market right outside our doors.

Today we're giving a shout-out to the Coos Watershed Association where Port CEO Lanelle Comstock serves on the Board of Directors and is working the Coos Bay Farmers Market booth today.

Since 1994, the Association has worked with local residents, landowners, and partners to improve watershed health through science, restoration, education, and collaboration.

If you're at the market, stop by their booth and say hello!

Big conversations today in North Bend and Reedsport as community members gathered for town halls with Senator Ron Wyden and Congresswoman Val Hoyle.

The Pacific Coast Intermodal Port (PCIP) project was a major topic of discussion, with strong engagement and support from members of the building trades and community. Senator Wyden described the project as a model for the nation — highlighting not only the tremendous job creation potential, but also the broader multiplier impact strategic infrastructure investments can have on quality of life, housing, workforce training, and the long-term well-being of rural communities.

Thank you to everyone who participated in today’s conversations and continues to stay engaged as the project moves forward.

On the water. On the ground. And moving forward.

In the past week, we advanced the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port (PCIP) project by engaging partners at every level of government, starting right here in Coos Bay.

Port commissioners and the PCIP project team hosted senior staff from the U.S. Department of Transportation, including Chief of Staff Pete Meachum, Congresswoman Val Hoyle, and her team, as well as representatives from the Governor’s Office for an on-the-water tour of the proposed project site and surrounding infrastructure.

Also, this week in Washington D.C., PCIP Executive Director Melissa Cribbins joined national leaders at a Build America Bureau Public-Private Partnerships (P3) Forum—continuing conversations about how projects like PCIP can help strengthen the country’s national supply chain network.

And in Portland, we provided an update to regional maritime and export stakeholders at the Maritime Commerce Club’s annual State of the Ports breakfast—continuing our history of collaboration with public ports across the Pacific Northwest.

All of this builds on the recent $11.25 million federal PIDP grant supporting critical rail infrastructure for the project.

This is what progress looks like: coordinated work across local, state, and federal partners to position Coos Bay as a critical ship-to-rail gateway on the West Coast.

We’ll be sharing more information about these and other exciting developments in our upcoming PCIP newsletter..........

The Port of Coos Bay is proud to announce that the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port (PCIP) project has been awarded an $11.25 million federal grant through the U.S. Maritime Administration’s Port Infrastructure Development Program.

This new investment will support rail infrastructure improvements on the North Spit—helping prepare the future terminal area, strengthen connections to the Coos Bay Rail Line, and keep momentum moving for one of Oregon’s most significant long-term economic development opportunities.

Why it matters:

✅ Strengthens West Coast supply chain resilience
✅ Expands export opportunities for Oregon producers
✅ Creates future access to empty containers for agriculture, manufacturing, and small business exports
✅ Builds on Oregon’s recent $100 million state commitment
✅ Continues bipartisan support at the federal and state level

This is another meaningful step forward for the South Coast, for working waterfront communities, and for Oregon’s role in national trade infrastructure.
