Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
This EDA investment supports the Oregon Mass Timber Coalition, led by the Port of Portland, with modernizing and boosting the forest products industry in Oregon by becoming a national leader in using mass timber to accelerate affordable housing production, provide good jobs, and restore forest health.
The projects funded as part of this award include working with forest-dependent rural communities to grow access to wood fiber, facilitate a wood-based products workforce development program, provide resources to university R&D programs conducting design and prototyping of new construction materials, and assist state agencies in creating a favorable regulatory framework to accommodate modular mass timber homes in rural and wildlife-impacted communities.
Once implemented, the investment will help develop and strengthen regional industry clusters - all while embracing economic equity, creating good-paying jobs, and enhancing U.S. competitiveness globally.
