KCEDF Acquires Jackson PropertyAugust 29, 2003 Janet Frederick, Executive Director of the Kiowa County Economic Development Foundation (KCEDF) has announced that the Foundation has purchased nearly 800 acres of land south of Eads, commonly known as the Jackson property, for future development. Following nearly a year of negotiations, the Foundation closed the land purchase on August 27th. While the Kiowa County Commissioners were in full support of the development of the property, they and the Foundation Board felt that KCEDF would be the best organization to both purchase the property and handle its development. According to Frederick, the acquisition of the land is a significant opportunity whereby an investment could be made in Kiowa County’s future. The Foundation has already partnered with the National Park Service, SCEDD, CSU, and others to explore plans for development of the property.

"The land will likely be developed in several ways", Frederick stated, "but in a planned and coherent manner that will not compromise the integrity of the way of life we enjoy in Kiowa County". Frederick also stated that public input regarding potential uses for the property is always welcome.
