LEDC Client Report - November 2009
LEDC is extremely excited with the new website and E-Newsletter format and the opportunities they provide for our Partners In Progress. One of the main benefits is the ability to provide a timely client reporting process. Not only will be the staff be providing "Hot - Active" client updates via the E-Newsletter, we will also be posting all client activity on the website under the Partners In Progress web page. As a Partner In Progress you will be able to review LEDC client activities at your convenience. As always, we encourage our partners to contact us about how they may be able to assist us with the process. Please note: all of LEDC's clients are confidential unless they specify otherwise. Therefore, all of LEDC's clients are given a code name to protect them.
November report reflects an interesting variety of clients and needs. A review of a couple of "hot" clients:
0209BOIS - Client specifically requires dedicated rail which is a real concern for Laramie. With the uncertain future of the rail spurs pending the location of the Clark Street/Harney Street viaduct, Laramie cannot guarantee the dedicated usage of those spurs.
0909ERTS and 1109LLEY - Both clients are dependent upon bio feed stock and are considering beetle kill pine as a resource. LEDC has been hosting meetings with the clients and the appropriate resources agencies to identify the possibilities.
Click here for all of the Active - Hot clients as of 11/18/09
We encourage you to review the full list at your convenience by clicking here. In the meantime, please remember the best leads for Laramie come from existing businesses and residents.
