Those who want to help with the continued efforts to bring an Ag Center to Polk County are asked to come take part in an upcoming meeting at the beginning of March over the next steps for the proposal.
Organizers are asking that anyone interested in the Agriculture Education and Natural Resource Center come take part in a March 1 meeting at 6 p.m.
The HON Room at the Cedartown campus of the Polk County College and Career Academy is hosting the meeting, and planners will be providing an update on the project.
Additionally, they are inviting community input into the design drawings being mocked up by an Engineer.
Those unable to attend can go to www.FriendsofAg.org to leave comments and find more information.
Anyone who wants more information about the project can contact Glenn Robinson at 770-815-9122.
The project, first brought up four years ago before the County Commission, seeks to build a facility in the middle of the county and provide a large, dividable classroom, commercial kitchen, cannery, offices, bathrooms with showers and changing areas, enclosed arena with flexible seating for 400+, a covered livestock area with wash racks, as well as parking and large utility building.
A feasibility study was completed in 2018, and the Friends of Agriculture was formed in 2020 to fundraise and promote the project.
