Powers Chamber Hears Plans for Timber Marketing

The Powers Chamber of Commerce met at the Timberline Inn with 14 members as Ross Youngblood and Track of the Coos Bay Bureau of Land Management outlined timber marketing plans. The BLM surveys 150 million feet in Baker and Roland Creek watersheds and favors building a Roland Creek to Baker Creek road first to market timber. The agency considers clear title to roads essential before sale and notes possible collaboration with Georgia-Pacific for Salmon Creek timber. First sales target Roland Creek with Baker Creek sized by road needs, with updates to the chamber as plans develop.
