Angie Farewell

CEDA staff wishes Angie Edwards-Kuskie the best as she begins new endeavors with the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest.

Angie joined CEDA staff in the fall of 2015 as a Economic and Community Development Assistant. During her time at CEDA, she has assisted many north central Idaho communities access funding for critical infrastructure. Her understanding and connections with our rural communities made her a champion for the region.

Angie’s grant writing and administration garnered almost $10,000,000 in grant and foundation funding for a gamut of projects, including water/wastewater upgrades for Weippe, Stites, Kendrick, and White Bird as well as the Cottonwood School District track. Angie’s love of the region was demonstrated most by her efforts and support of the Grangeville Kids Club and the Clearwater Basin Conservation Youth Corps, a summer forestry employment program for youth 16 – 18 years of age.

We are proud of Angie, and we will miss her. We know she is leaving CEDA better than when she arrived and with her skills and knowledge, she will make the world a better place.
