(Waldport, Oregon) – A much-loved beach on the central Oregon coast will not be as easily accessible for awhile, as Driftwood Beach State Recreation Site’s parking area will close down as early as June 1 for work constructing part of a massive wave energy project. Oregon State Parks and Recreation (OPRD) announced this week that Oregon State University (OSU), which is running the project, will hold two virtual town halls on Monday, May 10 to explain the gigantic test endeavor.
