The LWV of Coos County is in the process of reviewing and updating its position on the Port of Coos Bay. The LWVCC study team held their 1st meeting last January 2022 to provide an update on our study information. A second meeting was held on Saturday, January 21st of this year. The recordings of both meetings are now available for you to view on our YouTube channel at the links below. As well as a written summary of talking points on the proposed Port Container Project and possible alternatives for engaging in positive improvements to the estuary.
There are two proposals for large scale development associated with the Port of Coos Bay and our community are now under consideration. Both projects will have consequences to the Port, the estuary and our communities.
One proposal for a large multimodal cargo terminal and rail connector was submitted by the Port and a private partner to the US Department of Transportation.
And a second proposal by the US Department of Energy is related to infrastructure associated with proposed offshore wind leases that are to be auctioned by the federal government later this fall.
To find out more information on our study of the Port of Coos Bay, we invite you to view the recordings of the update meetings we have held so far. As well as the 
summary of talking points on the Port Container Project and ideas for engagement on positive improvements to the estuary.
The recording of the 1st meeting (2022) is available here.
The recording made of our latest meeting on January 21st, 2023 is provided in 3 segments - 1 an introduction to the study and update process, 2 - the update meeting, and 3 - the discussion held after the meeting.
All recordings can be viewed at the above links on our YouTube channel.
We look forward to sharing this information with you. A third meeting is scheduled for April 22.
