Lewis County Economic Development was recently recognized at the 2018 New York State Economic Development Council (NYSEDC) Annual Meeting with a Best in Class Award for the recently updated Naturally Lewis Website.
This award was presented to the Director of Lewis County Economic Development, Eric Virkler, and Marketing Specialist, Brittany Davis, at the NYSEDC Conference that took place on Wednesday, May 23, through Friday, May 25 at the Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown, NY.

economicdevelopment practice, and the Marketing Awards recognize a combination of creativity, marketing savvy, and substantive knowledge of the New York marketplace that make our state a robust destination for business attraction and expansion efforts.
The updated Naturally Lewis website was designed and developed in partnership with the Lewis County Economic Development office and Coughlin Printing of Lowville, NY, and is used for the promotion of Lewis County and the outreach to businesses within targeted industries identified by Lewis County (Dairy & Food Processing, Natural Resource Based Industries & Small/Cottage Businesses). The intent is to encourage business start-ups and growth of existing businesses within Lewis County. The website also promotes the "Lewis Life," promoting Lewis County tourism and outdoor recreation.
