The Jordan Cove Energy Project will result in a direct investment of more than $500 million in Coos County The project will also provide Coos County with a new, significant and stable source of revenue including pipeline transportation fees and property taxes. The construction and operation of the Jordan Cove Energy Project will have direct, positive impacts on Port of Coos Bay operations. The physical improvements to the Port environment, such as the construction of a multi-purpose, multi-user marine berth, the addition of tractor tugs and the development of an adequately-sized turning basin, will enhance the Port’s ability to attract other marine dependent industries. These infrastructure improvements will be accomplished as a direct result of the financial investments made by the Jordan Cove Energy Project.

	The LNG vessel traffic, will significantly increase the annual number of vessel calls at the Port of Coos Bay, helping to: stabilize Port operations, increase overall Port utilization, and increase Port revenues.
	These additional vessel calls will provide increased employment for longshore workers, harbor pilots, tugboat operators, and marine service and supply providers.
	The construction of the facility – which will take roughly three years – will provide over 1000 jobs at construction peak, in addition to the increased business for local vendors who would provide supplies and services during construction.
	When completed, the facility will provide about 60 stable, long-term, family-wage, skilled jobs to local residents. Additionally, new support jobs will be created for tractor tug services, stevedoring and piloting.
	In addition to the above benefits, the Jordan Cove Energy Project could enhance Coos County’s attractiveness as a place to locate or expand business.
