Lomax. The county worked closely with Cooperative Extension <br />to develop the existing infrastructure and supported the program with operational <br />funding and staff support until July 2014. Carolina Farm Stewardship Association took <br />over operational management soon after and continues to run the farm and oversee its <br />development. However Cabarrus County has continued to fund a portion of the <br />operational budget and has helped in many other ways. The County continues to own <br />the land and leases it to CFSA for the purpose of operating the farm. <br />• Member of the Lomax Advisory Group <br />• Land owner <br />• Provides some operational funds <br />• Assists with equipment and facilities issues <br />• Offers outreach opportunities <br />• Has the opporutntiy to use the new facility to <br />attrach businesses to Cabarrus County <br />• Has the opportunity to use the new facility to <br />hold meetings, retreats and other gatherings <br />https://www.cabarruscoun e .us/government/ departments /sustainabiliiyZlocal %2ofood <br />/ Pages /Elma -C.- Lomax- Incubator -Farm. aspx <br />26 <br />G -6 Page 198 <br />
