Development of the Project

In the first round of the Legacy Project, NWCDC focused on 19 communities in the Pacific Northwest. These communities were chosen due to a number of factors including being centrally located to their region, previous cooperative projects, and connection to a Small Business Development Center or other Economic Development network among other factors.
