The Coquille Indian Tribe (CIT) is a sovereign Nation whose binding thread is the Coquille people – where Tribal sovereignty, culture, social and economic welfare and common resources are protected and advanced. The 3J Community Planning team is pleased to announce the completion of the Empire Comprehensive Plan, which guides development for approximately 1,100 acres in Coos County, Oregon in accordance with the vision and mission of CIT.
The Empire Comprehensive Plan sought input from CIT stakeholder groups about community goals and values to develop land use zones that meet the housing and employment needs of the Tribe, develop a multi-modal transportation network, and balance future development with environmental resource protection and the existing natural and cultural significance of the land. The CIT Tribal Council approved the plan on July 14, 2018.
