Congressional Assistants' Tour at OSU South Centers in Piketon, Ohio
Representatives from eight (8) of Ohio's Congressional offices, accompanied by volunteers, joined OSU Extension and OARDC in a visit to the OSU South Centers, located in Piketon.
The Piketon facility marks its 20th anniversary this year and has become a key part of the region's economic development efforts. Congressional staff toured the Endeavor Center small business incubator, learned about local food and agri-tourism opportunities, viewed test plots of both traditional and non-traditional crops and saw the acquaculture facilities on site. The group also visited Rhoads Farm Market in Circleville, a business that has worked closely with the South Centers over the past 20 years.
