The investment comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s Nationally Significant Multimodal Freight and Highways Projects (INFRA) grant program. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am thrilled today that the U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded over $25 million for the Port of Coos Bay Intermodal Project,\u201d said&nbsp;U.S. Representative Val Hoyle. \u201cThis project has the potential to bring over 8000 jobs to Southwest Oregon\u2019s coastal communities and to strengthen our nation\u2019s supply chain. Today\u2019s announcement brings us one step closer to rebuilding the South Coast as an economic engine for the state and introduces more pathways to the middle class.\u201d She added, \u201cI would like to thank Secretary Buttigieg, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the White House, and my partners in Congress for their support and persistence to help bring this project closer to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s $25 million announcement takes a significant step forward to landing this Port of Coos Bay project that will ultimately generate thousands of good-paying jobs on the South Coast and extend huge economic and environmental benefits throughout Oregon,\u201d said&nbsp;U.S. Senator Ron Wyden. \u201cThere\u2019s still more work to be done, and I am committed to keep pressing the case along with Congresswoman Hoyle and Senator Merkley to provide all the federal investment this project has earned and fully deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis $25 million federal investment from the&nbsp;Bipartisan Infrastructure Law&nbsp;is a historic win for Oregon\u2019s rural South Coast and our entire state and&nbsp;is&nbsp;the kickstart that Coos Bay\u2019s transformative container port project needs.&nbsp;This project will&nbsp;create thousands of good-paying union&nbsp;and permanent local jobs,&nbsp;boost the economy,&nbsp;and help&nbsp;address bottlenecks in the national supply chain,&nbsp;while cutting greenhouse gas emissions,\u201d&nbsp;said U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley.&nbsp;\u201cI have long championed this critical project alongside Representative Hoyle, Senator Wyden, Port leadership, and&nbsp;a&nbsp;diverse community of stakeholders, and together we advocated to the highest levels of the Biden administration to ensure this federal commitment. Today\u2019s win moves the Port of Coos Bay forward toward the vision of becoming the first fully ship-to-rail port facility on the West Coast&nbsp;and&nbsp;is a testament to the power of collaboration and never giving up\u2014the Oregon Way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to creating thousands of jobs in a rural area that has been too often overlooked, the PCIP project will benefit the nation\u2019s supply chain by easing congestion at West Coast Ports. It will also be the nation\u2019s first ship-to-rail port on the West Coast, meaning the facility will not need to rely on trucks to move cargo. The project is also anticipated to use renewable energy sources to provide green electricity, which will allow for the use of electric-powered cargo handling equipment, vehicle charging, and onshore power. The Port will be fitted with electric power plug-ins to power ships at berth (known as \u201ccold ironing\u201d) during the process of unloading.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World U.S. Representative Val Hoyle and U.S. Senator Ron Wyden and U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley on Oct. 16 announced $25,018,750 in federal funding for the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port (PCIP) Terminal Planning Project.
