US Department of Labor awards over $220K to help workers affected by layoffs at southwestern Oregon lumber facility
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Labor today awarded $224,994 to Oregon to support employment and training services for workers affected by layoffs at Roseburg Forest Products.
On Sept. 25, 2025, Roseburg Forest Products permanently closed its Dillard, Oregon facility, laying off 107 workers and causing significant economic disruption to the region.
Administered by the department's Employment and Training Administration, this National Dislocated Worker Grantwill allow the Southwestern Oregon Workforce Investment Board to provide retraining and skills development services for dislocated workers seeking assistance in Douglas County.
Supported by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014, National Dislocated Worker Grants provide a state or local board with funding for direct services and assistance in areas experiencing a major economic dislocation event that leads to workforce needs exceeding available resources.
