What Is LIFT?

The goal of the Lander Investment for Tomorrow (LIFT) Program is to invest Fremont County’s one-half cent sales tax funds back into the Lander economy by providing funding programs to its businesses or organizations. Lander’s businesses and organizations are its lifeblood, and it is vital that the economic development sales tax is invested to continue growth and prosperity. The LIFT committee operates as a subcommittee of the Lander Economic Development Association (LEDA) and is made up of six directors-at-large and one member who is appointed by the City.
