dc.description.abstractAs accelerated restoration initiatives continue, stakeholders are interested in understanding how investments affect local economies and communities. The economic benefit of accelerated restoration investments in local communities hinges on the amount of work local contractors are awarded and the flow of timber to wood processing facilities in the region. To the extent that local economic gain is important in these efforts, it is necessary to understand not just the number and kind of restoration businesses in the region, but also the ability of these businesses to take on more work, along with the challenges and hesitancies they experience with federal contracting. Initial monitoring efforts highlight that the full impact of investments will be evident as projects proceed, and particularly as they move from planning and analysis into implementation of on-the-ground work. The purpose of this paper is to provide a greater understanding of the local workforce capacity to assist with the implementation of accelerated restoration projects in northeastern Oregon.en_US
