Description:
The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to aid the transformation of the closed Jackson County Landfill into a regional center for the growth of the arts and crafts community, the local agriculture and native botanical industry, and heritage tourism based on the region’s long history of craft excellence. The project will not only reuse the industrial site, but also make direct on-site use of landfill gas as an energy supply for the facility.
