Dairyland partnered with Allamakee-Clayton Elect Cooperative (ACEC) on a $200,000 Policy B204 loan for Eastern Iowa Lutheran Bible Camp (EWALU) in Strawberry Point, Iowa. ACEC matched the loan with a $200,000 loan from their Revolving Loan Fund also. The project will focus on renovations to Cedar Lodge, which serves as the camp’s primary dining hall, summer staff housing and a multi-use space for public community gatherings and weddings. This investment strengthens local infrastructure and enhances a valued regional destination, supporting both community engagement and long-term economic vitality for the area.
