Towards achieving this goal, LMD has focused
on the quality of its tenants in an effort to secure

for the trust. One of the innovative ways in
which LMD believes that it can achieve this is
through clean-energy. In supporting the State’s
clean-energy initiatives, LMD has enhanced its

throughout the state that have the potential for

energy, solar or wind farms. It is LMD’s goal
in this endeavor to continue to work towards
financial self-sufficiency, as well as be a leader in
green energy sustainability in the state.
