And, I wanted the new Department of Agriculture facility to be a leader in the nation.” “In terms of a construction updates, the required site develop ment has been very extensive and has consumed a considerate amount of time. However, the ‘above-ground’ structural work will begin in the near future.” “The building of a new Livestock Evaluation Center is part of the historic construction taking place at the Department of Agriculture. A new greenhouse complex, con struction at the Farm Show Complex, plus this new Livestock Evaluation Center provide over $92 million for new and enhanced structures so the Department of Agriculture can better serve Pennsylvania’s No. 1 industry.” Sam Hayes Secretary of Agriculture Sam Hayes Secretary
