Port of Coos Bay Secures $25 million INFRA Grant for Pacific Coast Intermodal Port Project

For Immediate Release: October 17, 2024
COOS BAY, OR — The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay has been awarded a $25 million grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s INFRA (Infrastructure for Rebuilding America) program, marking a pivotal step in the development of its Pacific Coast Intermodal Port (PCIP). This critical funding from the federal government will support environmental compliance and permitting as well as design and engineering work and enables the Port to move forward with its catalytic infrastructure plans.

“The INFRA grant is a game-changer for the Port of Coos Bay and the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port Project,” said Melissa Cribbins, Executive Director of the PCIP. “Oregon's Congressional delegation has been relentless in their pursuit of dollars for the PCIP, and we are so thankful for their advocacy. This federal grant is a watershed moment for the region and adds the federal government to the growing list of critical supporters for one of the impactful rural economic development projects in state history.”

The PCIP is designed to leverage Coos Bay’s strategic location and deep-water access, creating a modern intermodal container terminal that eases congestion and unclogs transportation bottlenecks. The project will streamline logistics by allowing cargo to seamlessly transfer between ships and rail, reducing congestion and lowering transportation costs for businesses. The Port’s connection to the Coos Bay Rail Line offers direct access to key national and international markets, further strengthening its role as a critical gateway for trade.
