Abstract: CWEWIP will support the installation of thermally led community wood energy systems or development and expansion of innovative wood product facilities. The intent of the CWEWIP is to support forest health and stimulate local economies by expanding renewable wood energy use and innovative wood products manufacturing capacity

Emergency Justfication: Deployment of funding for this provision is essential to support the use of woody byproducts removed from forest management and restoration activities on federal, tribal, state, and private lands. This program supports industry investment and market development for wood energy and innovative wood products.
