CVA Donates To Northeast Ag Facilities

NORFOLK- Central Valley Ag has announced a donation to the Nexus campaign to improve agriculture facilities at Northeast Community College.

CVA President and CEO Carl Dickinson said the cooperative board of directors has approved a $250,000 investment in the Agriculture and Water Center of Excellence at Northeast. Funding for the $23 million Agriculture & Water Center for Excellence project is currently being solicited to enhance and expand the agriculture facilities at Northeast. In addition to the College’s commitment of $10 million, Northeast is seeking at least $13 million in private funds to begin the initial phase of construction, which includes a new farm site with a farm office and storage, a large animal handling facility and other farm structures for livestock operations, and a new veterinary technology clinic and classrooms.

The new facilities will be located near the Chuck Pohlman Agriculture Complex on E. Benjamin Ave. in Norfolk.
