Orange Fundraiser Thermometer with the tick marks $750,000 to Goal $1.5 Million and the building schematics and the text "We are ALMOST there!"

UPDATED:  WE HAVE MADE OVER 1.4 MILLION DOLLARS!

The agricultural center committee has exciting news!

We have made 93% of the building's total of $1.5 million! We have less than 100,000 - $99,285 to be exact.  We are actively applying for grants and researching every option.

We have met with local contractors and were able to make changes to the design!

Changes won't affect the programming, but reduced the estimated cost to $1,380,000.00 to break ground and $1,500,000.00 for project completion.
