Overview: This paper discusses the offshore wind farms and its benefits, which are wind developments located in submerged lands, lands that are owned by state and federal governments. Commercial activity on these submerged lands, such as an electricity-generating wind farm, will not directly benefit local communities in terms of land leases, royalty payments, local ownership, and property taxes. Local communities can nevertheless benefit directly and indirectly from offshore wind facilities once a system is established that will channel monies to these affected local communities.
