| Jul 26 08 -- Sep 26 08 Setback for LNG proposal in Coos Bay |  The LNG proposal for the North Spit in Coos Bay had a setback recently, when Oregon's Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) remanded the Coos County approval of the facility back to the county for further work. Several opposing groups and individuals filed the appeal arguing that the County made inadequate findings as a basis of approving the controversial facility. The county must now address those matters.
In addition, the Jackson County Commissioners voted 2-1 to oppose the Coos Bay natural gas pipeline coming through Jackson County. (See below for a related article in the July 16 Medford Mail Tribune.)
