However, achieving local economic benefits for businesses and workers may require deliberate strategies that are carefully matched to local strengths and limitations.

    Quick guide : innovative contracting : a guide for collaborative groups and community partners
    (Ecosystem Workforce Program, Institute for a Sustainable Environment, University of Oregon, 2015) Moseley, Cassandra; Davis, Emily Jane; Bixler, R. Patrick (Richard Patrick)
    The U.S. Forest Service purchases goods and services to help meet its land management objectives. Forest collaboratives, community-based organizations, and others frequently express interest in increasing local economic activity and community outcomes from service contracts and timber sales. But they may not be sure of how federal contracting operates, or what actions they might take to obtain their desired outcomes. The Ecosystem Workforce Program has provided numerous resources for community-based groups in the past, such as lists of definitions and case examples. In this document, we update and compile several of these resources.
