Lander FIND Project

Summit Engineering has been retained by the Lander County Sustainable Development Committee in Northern Nevada to provide support services in the form of an assessment of the existing infrastructure in an area of more than 1.5 million acres.  This assessment is being provided through Bureau of Land Management grants in association with the LCSDC.  The committee is comprised of local representatives from federal and local agencies, mining companies, and economic development interests across a 250-mile stretch of Interstate 80 in Northern Nevada. 

The committee is charged with providing for future social, economic and environmental development of small communities in Northern Nevada.  Historically, the communities in the area have been subject to the vagaries of the mining industry, with boom or bust coming in irregular cycles.   Their goals include sustainable development with a strong renewable energy component.
