This Strategic Business Plan (SBP) is intended to meet the Oregon Business Development Department’s SBP requirements.

1. Establish a revised mission, vision, goals and implementation strategies.
2. Provide a plan to develop and enhance the economic diversity of the Port of Umpqua district.
3. Provide a strategy for retaining existing business and attracting new business and industry to enhance local economic diversification efforts.

6. Provde the community and potential customers a clear understanding of the Port’s mission, as well as its functions and purpose.
7. Comply with OAR 123-0025, which requires the Port to prepare and adopt a strategic business plan in order to request state funding for planned improvements.
