This will be limited to <br />two per year up to five years from the date of award or as otherwise agreed to by the Recipient and Orange <br />County Economic Development Office. <br />Exhibit C <br /> <br />Additional Information <br /> <br />Use of Funds: $10,000 towards the Electrical wiring of farm building (permit and inspection) contracted labor <br />and materials. <br /> <br />Purpose: I grow perennial basketry willow and other crops that are harvested for use in craft products. I am <br />applying for funds to electrify a farm building I am constructing. The completed building will be used to store and <br />process craft plants, create products from those plants (woven baskets, mats, etc.), and teach workshops using <br />material grown on the farm. When completed, this building will be a site for farm-to-craft production and <br />education, and I plan to continue to grow my operation to include more raw material sales as my perennial <br />cultivation increases. In my work as a craft educator, I regularly meet people who are seeking a way to reconnect to <br />the environment and to the act of making things through land-based crafts, using natural materials, and learning a <br />heritage craft. Through this work I have identified an unmet need in the market for locally sourced materials. My <br />project will meet this need, and serve as an example for other makers and artisans that there is an economic <br />advantage in growing raw materials in-house. While the crop and craft I am focusing on is willow basketry, in the <br />future this space can also host workshops on harvesting timber for green woodworking, digging clay for pottery, <br />making plant pigments, growing broom corn, and so on. The 1300 square foot building is partially completed, and <br />the next step of full electrical wiring will move me much closer to completion. This building includes a conditioned <br />space for material storage, a space for processing and weaving with material I have grown, room for workshops of <br />10 - 20 people, and a shop for building and repairing additional infrastructure. The funds that I am applying for <br />would go entirely towards hiring an electrical subcontractor to wire the building, making it a fully functioning <br />facility. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 8585746F-141B-8A9D-81F5-7F48681777BE
