Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
This EDA investment funds construction of the UPIKE Ag-Tech Innovation Center of Excellence, an ag-tech research and education center to be located at the Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park (KEIP) at Marion Branch in Pikeville. The facility will include a greenhouse, classroom space, laboratory, and offices, to lead research efforts in high-tech agriculture that supports the continued development and long-term viability of the industry and its key stakeholders while also supporting increasing worldwide demands for food production.
Once completed, the project will support entrepreneurial and business development strategies for Eastern Kentucky and Central Appalachia and the education of the next generation of the agricultural industry workforce, which will assist a region highly impacted by recent negative impacts from downturns in the coal economy and further economic diversification throughout the region.
