Before potential impacts of OCS development on a particular community can be adequately assessed, it is first essential to have a good understanding of existing social and economic conditions in that community, the adequacy of that community's infrastructures and its general financial condition. The report provides detailed baseline information for the cities of Yakutat, Cordova, Seward and Kodiak in the areas of population and economy, land use and land tenure, community facilities and services (including utilities), and local government organization and finances. In addition, an analysis of social conditions affecting Yakutat is offered. Two of the communities under study could be impacted by OCS development in the Northern Gulf of Alaska (Yakutat and Cordova) while Kodiak could be impacted by OCS development in the Western Gulf. The fourth community, Seward, could be impacted by OCS development in both areas.
