The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners and County Counsel are holding a Community Forum on Wave Energy from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday, June 25 at the Boone Center at Newport High School, 322 NE Eads Street, Newport.

The goal of this community forum is to inform, listen to and engage citizens in Lincoln County in the planning and development of wave energy generation.

The proposed agenda is to have brief presentations followed by facilitated conversations and other ways for the public to provide input on: Wave energy production and technology; proposed projects along the Oregon coast; the permitting process, siting, local control, and shore/land connections and issues; potential positive and negative economic impacts; and ocean uses and users: access, safety, environmental, and other concerns.
For more information on the Community Forum contact: Wayne Belmont, County Counsel, Lincoln County Courthouse, 265-4108; or Kaety Hildenbrand, Marine Fisheries Extension Faculty, OSU Extension Service, 29 SE 2nd St., 574-6537 ext. 27."
