Emmy Andersson, of the Cooperative Development Institute (CDI), shares about work that CDI and the St. Mary’s Nutrition Center have been doing to advance the community-driven goals and actions in the Local Foods, Local Places Action Plan for Lewiston-Auburn. Specifically, both organizations have been advancing Goal 1: “Strengthen Access To Local Food While Expanding Market Opportunities and Infrastructure for Farm and Food Businesses”. They have particularly active in implementing Actions 1.1 and 1.5 (which have been combined): “Conduct a feasibility study to determine the demand and need for a shared-use processing space, storage facility, commercial kitchen, as well as a cooperatively run, low-cost, local foods store in the Tree Streets neighborhood.” The Feasibility Phase is now done, and they are now in Phase 2, Development of a Lewiston Community Food Center (CFC).
