The US Department of the Interior’s (DOI’s) Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) Network served as a national conservation framework from 2010–2017. The LCC program created 22 regional self-directed partnerships covering the entire country, each one designed to understand the threats and develop collaborative strategies to conserve natural and cultural resources important to the partners operating within their geographic scope. The establishment of the LCC program was not without some controversy, but a 2015 congressionally mandated independent review of its scientific merits reached a positive conclusion. Neverthless, funding for LCCs was ended in 2017 and most were disbanded. This paper explains the need to increase US federal support for landscape-scale, collaborative conservation, and build back a better, more durable network to meet this century’s conservation challenges.

The Perry County Development Corporation announced today that Waupaca Foundry -- a subsidiary of The Budd Company -- had selected Tell City, Indiana as the site for a new $55 million foundry. Scheduled for completion in January 1997, the new facility will produce components for the automotive industry. Within five years, the company is expected to invest a total of $85 million at the site and employ between 400 and 500 people. \"The availability of a skilled workforce and a location easily accessible to our markets played an important role in our site selection,\" said Siegfried Buschmann, Chairman of The Budd Company. \"What really made the difference in our decision though was the community's commitment to business.\" (excerpt)

Contrary to what the Evansville Courier & Press would have its readers believe, Indiana public access laws are not at risk because of the case involving the Perry County Development Corp. The Indiana Court of Appeals simply confirmed prior rulings of both itself and the Indiana Supreme Court that a not-for-profit corporation performing services for a fee was not a public agency. For example, Editor Paul McAuliffe states in his column (June 20) that the development corporation tried to condemn land. As a private corporation, the Perry County Development Corp. has no such power. Even David Kempf admitted as much in his court deposition. Another false claim is that \"most of its members are government officials in Perry County.\" Only five of the 15 development corporation board members are elected officials, with the remaining 10 members coming from the private sector.
