The vote on the Omnibus Appropriations Act was 245 to 178 along party lines in the U.S. House on Wednesday. The result is money for the Coos Bay railroad and dredging for South Coast — if the Senate goes along.

Congressman Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., announced that the legislation to fund federal programs through Sept. 30, also includes a provision to allow reallocation of $8 million in funds to help the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay buy the Central Oregon & Pacific rail line. The money had been allocated for repairs to the port-owned Coos Bay Rail Bridge. It’s the final amount needed to seal the $16.6 million deal. 

The $420 billion spending bill will fund 12 cabinet departments and lesser agency budgets, and with that there’s other spending allocated to the South Coast.

• South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team would receive $460,000, so the task force can focus on stopping the manufacture and trafficking of methamphetamine. 

• Southwestern Oregon Community College would get $192,500 for training programs for welders, fabricators and manufacturing technicians. Funds also will be used to purchase industry-standard metals fabrication equipment.
