JLDC Programs and Projects

What follows are JLDC’s main programs and projects for 2009-2010.  This list includes projects that meet the current needs in the county, long-term projects as well as activities that address the educational mission of MSU Extension, our staffing partner.   Though we set our priorities each year at the Board’s annual retreat, we often adopt new projects or postpone existing projects based on the needs and opportunities that arise throughout the year.
