LORI COWMAN, DISTRICT III

Lori Cowman gave a yearly update to the board regarding what District III offers and how Sanborn County had benefited from their presence, in hopes that Sanborn County can utilize District III even more than the county already does. They offer loans for Governor’s housing, Meat and Poultry Processors Loan Funding, and much more. District III can help with grant writing and submitting for many purposes for Sanborn County and other taxing entities within Sanborn County. More information can be obtained from the Auditor’s office.
