To reach our conclusions, CPW assessed demand for the center through a market analysis and conducted a feasibility assessment based on projected costs and revenues. In the first phase of this study, CPW assessed potential demand for conceived programming through a market analysis. This analysis was completed using the following three steps: (1) document review, (2) case study analysis of comparable facilities and organizations, and (3) analysis of potential user groups and organizations. During the second phase of the study, CPW examined the operational and maintenance financial feasibility of the center. Information from the market analysis, combined with the conceived programming, was used to develop cost and revenue estimates for several potential operational models.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USCommunity developmentLand use planningCommunity Planning WorkshopCommunity Service CenterMarket analysisFriends of Fish LakeFriends of Fish Lake organizationWilderness managementBackcountry pack stockNatural history and ecologyCultural historyHistoric Santiam Wagon RoadWillamette National ForestStrategic planning processFish Lake Historic SiteUSDA Forest ServiceFeasibility assessmentOrganizational Camp modelsMarket analysisEthicsTrail maintenanceHeritage preservationTechnical Report
