Please note that there is a possibility of the need for permits or approval from other regulatory agencies. 

Letters of approval from other agencies having jurisdiction with your project have to be submitted with the building application. 

The County of Lewis Industrial Development Agency disclaims responsibility for the above and strongly suggests that the Code Enforcement Official of that jurisdiction be contacted. 

This should only be used as a guide.
