Heartland Community College has received a $2 million donation from the McLean County Farm Bureau to help construct a new agriculture facility in Normal.
The donation will be used for the development of a flexible learning lab space for Heartland students as well as community groups and K-12 students. Heartland's Director of Public Information Steve Fast says the donation is the first substantial local investment in the project.
The McLean County Farm Bureau instructional lab will be housed within Heartland’s planned agriculture facility, which will be built on the west side of Raab Road in Normal. Heartland anticipates breaking ground on the $20 million facility later this spring with a projected completion date of 2023
