St. Paul, MN – Eleven state projects will receive 9.5 million in state and federal funding to improve local and regional food systems.
State Ag Commissioner Thom Peterson says The Infrastructure Grants are part of a program that will fund projects that expand capacity and infrastructure for the aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storing, transportation, wholesaling, or distribution of locally and regionally produced agricultural products.
Peterson says the idea of this program came out of the COVID pandemic when we faced several supply chain challenges.
Manna Food Cooperative in Detroit Lakes is one of the programs awarded funding and will be receiving $304,198.19.
