KWSO News for Wed., Oct. 21, 2020

The Warm Springs Economic Development Corporation – also known as Ventures – has been developing plans for some existing and new businesses under new executive director Jim Souers.  One of Ventures ongoing successful businesses is Construction.  Souers sees that there is opportunity to expand

A new business in the works is a commercial water operation using solar powered panels that draw water from the air.

The plan is to allow community members to fill up bottles of water once a week and the rest of the time the water will be used for a commercial bottling operation.  The other new business will be in support of the cannabis referendum and will be a Native Brand E-commerce business for Hemp Related products.  You can hear more about Ventures Plans next week on the Warm Springs Program here on KWSO.
