dc.description.abstract | Over the last fifteen years, rural communities in the Pacific Northwest have been trying to redevelop their economies to meet new federal land management priorities. Numerous state and federal agencies and nonprofit organizations work to promote rural economic development. These entities offer grants and low-interest loans; they seek to recruit new businesses and retain existing ones; and they provide business development tools, worker training, and employment opportunities. However, the extent to which economic development and land management agencies work together to foster economic development associated with stewardship of natural resources and public lands is unclear. The purpose of this study was to understand how economic development service providers engage in natural resource–based economic development, and their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that it presents. | en_US |
