Our Purpose
The Lincoln Heritage RC&D’s purpose is to pursue funding for projects not covered by other sources, help planning groups solve common problems, and help germinate new ideas that will provide expanded opportunities for rural residents.
Our goal is to make better use of natural resources to improve the economic base of the citizens in the six-county area, as well as to preserve those resources for future generations.
We seek to accomplish this goal by working with those who are already deeply invested in the understanding of the region’s problems and opportunities, so that efforts are optimized, rather than duplicated.
