The Choctaw Development Fund awarded Windy Ridge Investments with a $5,000 forgivable loan.
Windy Ridge Investments is owned and operated by Lori Linton and Douglas Wheat. Linton and Wheat opened the home repair and remodeling business in 2022 and offer general contracting and job site cleaning to Wister and the surrounding area.
Money from the Choctaw Development Fund helped purchase a saw and an 18-foot trailer, which helped the business run more efficiently and allowed Windy Ridge Investments to take on more clients.
