The Community Economic
Development Program, housed at the Lewis County Development Corporation (LCDC),
a 501c(3) local development corporation administered by Naturally Lewis, Inc.,
was created through a Host Community Agreement between Number 3 Wind and the
LCDC Through this agreement, Number 3 Wind has agreed to provide approximately
$150,000 per year, for the next 30 years, that allows the LCDC to reinvest the
funds back into Lewis County through new business development and impactful
community projects. Program focuses are determined on an annual basis by the
Community Economic Development Program Committee and will be available each
year.
Applications for this
program underwent an evaluation process by the Community Economic
