A new agriculture facility is closer to reality after the Cloud County Community College Foundation received a $5,000 grant from the Community Foundation for Cloud County.

 

The grant will be used to support the construction of an agriculture facility on the Concordia campus. The facility will help Cloud meet the needs of its growing enrollment in the agriculture program, by providing space for the Precision Ag equipment and livestock. It will also allow for community and business outreach opportunities.

 

The Foundation has already secured $235,000 in additional funds to be used for the new building. Foundation Director Heather Gennette said the Foundation is continuing to pursue additional grant opportunities, partnerships and fundraising to raise the $350,000 needed for the project.
