Join the League of Oregon Counties (LOC), the Association of Oregon Counties (AOC), and the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) on Tuesday, March 17, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a webinar on the DLCD’s draft Offshore Wind Energy Roadmap. The purpose of this webinar is to provide Oregon’s cities and counties with an opportunity to ask questions and provide informal feedback on the draft roadmap.
The draft roadmap was developed utilizing more than one year of input and advice from a roundtable group representing a broad array of interests about the future of offshore wind energy in Oregon. The draft is also a product of consultation with federally recognized Tribes in Oregon, feedback provided during public meetings, and meetings with existing ocean users and wind energy businesses.
The roadmap presents a suite of recommendations for legislative, rulemaking, or other formal policy-making settings, and considers four alternative futures for Oregon and its coast. Two of these alternative futures include offshore wind turbines, and two do not.
In addition to this joint AOC/LOC webinar, the DLCD is accepting formal, written feedback on the draft roadmap until April 3, 2026. The agency will incorporate public feedback, review a revised draft with the roundtable group and Tribes, and finalize a roadmap document this summer for submittal to the Legislature consistent with the requirements of HB 4080 (2024) and House Bill 3963 (2025). More information about the roadmap, including the public review draft, can be found on the DLCD website here: https://www.oregon.gov/lcd/OCMP/Pages/Offshore-Wind-Roadmap.aspx
