A grant of nearly $2 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service, will allow MSU to host the North Central Regional Center for Rural Development for the next five years.

 

The North Central Regional Center is one of four regional centers charged with strengthening the ability of the land-grant university system and its partners to help build rural community capacity, create vibrant and sustainable economies, and cultivate inclusive governance to enhance regional well-being.

 

MSU Extension, the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station and the MSU College of Agriculture and Natural Resources will jointly administer the center.
