In addition, in an effort to ease an on-going housing shortage in south county, WCVEDG also uses addi- tional funds it receives for various housing projects. Currently there is a hous- ing rehabilitation program being offered where people who fix up their properties can apply to have up to 20 percent of the costs paid for by WCVEDG. The group is also in the process of purchasing land in Heppner to build a new duplex and hopefully relieve some of the chronic rental housing shortages in the area. WCVEDG is a non- profit group consisting of businesses and individuals. A volunteer board meets once per month to conduct business and the public is invited. Anyone who would like to become a member of WCVEDG and help promote economic devel- opment in the Heppner, Lexington and Ione area can email the treasurer at david@rapidserve.net and you will be sent an invoice. Memberships are $25 per year.
