PORTLAND, Ore. — The U.S. Coast Guard is scheduled to attend a community meeting in Newport on Monday about the pending closure of one of its three air facilities along the Oregon coast.

Oregon Public Broadcasting says 40 to 50 missions that are flown out of the Newport facility every year will be re-routed to North Bend or Astoria.

Captain Todd Trimpert, who heads up the agency in southern Oregon, says there are no plans to add additional resource there and response times likely will increase.

Members of Oregon’s Congressional delegation have expressed their concern over the facility’s closure.

The closure is scheduled Nov. 30.
