Community Readiness Assessment for Ocean Renewable Energy in Coos County May 2015 Final Report Prepared for: Oregon Wave Energy Trust Prepared by: Community Planning Workshop A Program of the Community Service

66 pagesThis report presents a “community readiness assessment” of Coos County for development of Ocean Renewable Energy. A community readiness assessment for economic development evaluates a community’s readiness on different categories related to economic development. For the purposes of this study, a community readiness assessment does not evaluate if the community does or does not support the development. The assessment is based on (1) a review of academic and professional literature, (2) a targeted survey of economic and community development professionals and community leaders, (3) key person interviews, and (4) focus group meetings with community stakeholders. The Community Planning Workshop (CPW) used the results of the assessment to develop an action plan aimed at increasing community readiness for large-scale ocean renewable energy development in Coos County

Winter maintenance activities, and the prevalence of studded tires combine to prematurely wear the markings to the point where reduced retroreflectivity compromises motorist safety
