(Coos Bay, OR) -- The Port of Coos Bay has received 25-million-dollars from the federal government to plan a major expansion project. The Pacific Coast Intermodal Port Terminal project will move nearly all inbound and outbound containers by rail, to avoid the risk of landslides affecting trucks using highways. Containers at the Port will be moved with electric powered vehicles or other green energy sources. The project has the potential of bringing over eight-thousand jobs to the southern Coast.
