Plan of Work: Empowering Community Leaders
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
As Covid -19 subsides in much of Kentucky and many in person activities slowly begin to happen, the McLean County Ag agent saw an opportunity to bring together several groups in McLean County to develop the Extension Facilities at Myer Creek park even further. The McLean County Extension District Board , the McLean County Farm Bureau Board of Directors and the Mclean County Conservation Board saw fit to forge a partnership to buy 360 chairs and 36 72" round tables and donated them to the Myer Creek Park facility. This will enable that facility to host many more community events, annual meetings, educational activities and monthly organized group meetings(4-H,County Government, FCS, Commodity Groups). This was a $19000.00 investment from partners that see the importance and future possibilities for this community based project.
