Pay It Forward Community Room
Social responsibility: One day the Pay It Forward Community Room might host a workshop on starting your own business. The next day a few girls might be taking advantage of a monthly computer-training program for people with disabilities. It's about people helping people.
Environmental stewardship: NESDCAP provides clients with energy and weatherization assistance and educates the public about how they can conserve energy. Now their clients will have a progressive place to gather. The public also will benefit by taking advantage of opportunities such as free Otter Tail Power Company energy conservation workshops held in these rooms.
Economic impact: NESDEC builds economic opportunities. South Dakota's Small Business Development Center, Sisseton Economic Development Corporation, Glacial Lakes Area Development, and other development groups will use these rooms for meetings and training sessions. Together they're building a stronger economy for all of northeastern South Dakota.
"Part of Otter Tail Power Company's mission is to improve the quality of life in the areas in which we do business. Through energy and weatherization assistance, public education, and economic development, NESDCAP and NESDEC are improving the quality of life in our South Dakota service area and beyond. We're pleased to help enhance their ability to provide progressive services."
