The Lewis County PUD (PUD) is pleased to announce a land purchase that could expand recreational opportunities in east Lewis County.
The PUD purchased 81 acres located at 807 Peters Road in Randle from CG Roxane LLC, which borders the east side of the PUD’s existing Cowlitz Falls Campground in Randle.
“The property will be a cornerstone of our relicensing program with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the Cowlitz Falls Project,” said Chris Roden, PUD General Manager. “This is a unique piece of land given its shared border with our existing site and presents exciting recreational opportunities that we wouldn’t have without it.”
The Cowlitz Falls Project’s license with FERC expires in 2036 and the process for relicensing could begin as early as 2026.
“The land purchase will be used in concert with other measures to satisfy recreational, fish, and wildlife requirements encountered during the relicensing process”, added Roden.
The PUD is excited to find the best way to utilize the property to serve our community moving forward.
