LOWVILLE â You have children. You have to work. The limited child care options you can find all have waiting lists or are too expensive. Then, thereâs the issue of safety for your children in whatever care scenario you can find. School shutdowns and home schooling made the dearth of child care in Lewis County impossible to ignore for some, but many family members helped to dull the impact. Now that more and more people are going back to their jobs, child care challenges loom larger than ever. Lewis County Economic Development and the county Planning Department are trying to do something about it. Jefferson County Economic Development on Thursday morning approved its involvement in the project by authorizing $45,460 to pay for its share in the program.
