Money donated through the companies' community development projects will be used for two statistical data projects - the Labor Shed Survey and Housing Needs Assessments.

The Labor Shed Survey is a tool used to identify areas which need growth in labor, drawing points and leakage in the county. Housing needs assessments is a community-wide tool which identifies the type of community, its needs and what types of financial aid are available for development of housing.
