Over three months, a rapid assessment was conducted of key stakeholders from the industry, including fiber supply, manufacturing, and the building industry. To compile insights from industry experts, professionals, and agency representatives, surveys (see Appendix B), questionnaires, and interviews were administered online, phone, virtual, or in-person formats. A comprehensive literature review of available reports, industry data, and media publications was completed. All sources incorporated are cited within the report. The following objectives were identified as the primary scope of this project:

• Verify current manufacturing capabilities with the state, including lumber supply, drying capacity, panel and beam manufacture, panel and beam CNC processing, finishing capacity, tertiary supplies and services such as adhesives, finished and connectors, construction, and installation.
• Assess interest among current supply chain stakeholders in expanding or diversifying activities with regard to mass timber construction.
• Identify positive and negative factors that currently or may potentially inhibit or encourage investment in new supply chain infrastructure in Oregon.
• Recommend actions that the State of Oregon and other public and private sector entities can take to support and encourage the expansion of Oregon’s mass timber supply chain.
