Home Depot timeline
Tuesday, May 15, 2007 | No comments posted.
The following is a timeline for the Ko Kwel Wharf and other related projects by the Coquille Economic Development Corp., the business arm of the Coquille Indian Tribe.
€ September 2005: CEDCO breaks ground on an 8-acre, 102-spot RV Park. Located on the former site of the Weyerhaeuser sawmill, the 50-acre property was purchased by CEDCO in 2004.
€ December 2005: After months of negotiations with the city of Coos Bay for another project, Home Depot representatives consider building a store on the CEDCO site. At the time, the company had looked at three locations in the Bay Area, including Coos Bay's South Town site.
€ December 2005: CEDCO reveals waterfront development plans, which include a Home Depot store, to 100 Bay Area residents. At the time the big-box store was expected to open in fall 2007.
€ January 2006: North Bend city officials, representatives from CEDCO, Home Depot, the Oregon departments of Transportation and Land and Conservation, as well as the Economic and Community Development Department, the Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad company and the Governor's Economic Revitalization team, gathered to discuss steps for the waterfront property.
€ February 2006: RV park construction delayed by weather.
€ June 2006: RV park opens.
€ December 2006: CEDCO applies for an entrance from U.S. Highway 101.
€ January 2007: City of North Bend agrees to send an application to ODOT for a traffic signal and railway crossing to serve the Ko Kwel Wharf development.
€ April 2007: CEDCO and Home Depot representatives say groundbreaking may not occur until the end of the year, as the project is held up on “technical issues.”
€ May 2007: CEDCO representatives reveal that the more than 200-year-old Indian Nonintercourse Act is holding up the Ko Kwel Wharf project by preventing the tribe from leasing or selling land. Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., introduces Senate Bill 1286, which, if passed, will allow the tribe to lease land to Home Depot.
