The Coos, Curry and Douglas region of Oregon is rich in natural resources with an economy which has historically been based on a foundation of nature based industries, particularly fisheries, forest products, agriculture, and tourism.

Environmental, seasonal and supply constraints have taken a toll on the region's economy resulting in an inability of the region to participate in the growth of jobs, wage and personal income realized in the metropolitan and urban areas of the state.

Economic forecasts predict that the regional growth will continue to lag behind the urban areas of the state, suggesting the need to invest in projects and activities which lead to economic diversification, job growth and improved community services.

This Regional Investment Plan focuses on the creation of economic and community development opportunities with an emphasis on developing quality communities throughout the region.  The plan identifies economic and community development priorities for the allocation of State Lottery Funds.  A copy of the updated Regional Investment Plan and associated documents, including the application form may be downloaded below.
