Agenda items will include grant reports, current projects and upcoming plans. The commission will invite public comments. The meeting will be followed by a tour of Marshfield Cemetery.



“The Coos Bay area has an outstanding number of historic resources from the North Bend and Coos Bay downtowns, to Tribal history, to the Egyptian Theater, Coos Historical & Maritime Museum and several cemeteries. We want to be sure the community is aware of the services we have available to them,” noted program coordinator Kuri Gill.
