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.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USCommunity developmentLand use planningOcean renewable energyCoos County (Or.)Community readiness assessmentEconomic developmentEconomic Development Adminstration University Center (EDAUC)Territorial Sea Plan TSPOcean energy technologyOregon South CoastOregon Wave Energy TrustRenewable Energy Facility Site Suitability Areas REFSSAOther
