Developer Greg Drobot plans to break ground next month on a new $2 million cheese factory in Bandon.
The area is still feeling the effects of the Bandon Cheese & Produce facility that closed in 2002.

The city is hoping that the cheese factory will anchor its plan to create a large rest stop and tourist center for coastal travelers.
