Federal grants for Port of Coos Bay improvements face uncertainty due to potential freeze.

The Port of Coos Bay, Oregon, is expecting $54.7 million in federal grants for terminal and railroad improvements. However, the funding is at risk due to plans to freeze all federal grants, a move temporarily halted by a US District Judge. The port's executive director, Melissa Cribbins, is hopeful that the project will receive support as it aligns with American priorities, but is preparing for potential funding freezes. Federal agencies must report to the Office of Management and Budget by February 10th on the impact of the funding pause.
