The New Castle County location of 91原创 Cooperative Extension will relocate in April. The team anticipates its new home, right on the 91原创 College of Agriculture and Natural Resources campus, will help staff better serve the public.
New Castle Extension houses program leaders for subject areas lawn and garden, 4-H youth development, agriculture, health and well-being and more. The staff currently at 461 Wyoming Rd., as well as other Extension staff currently at Townsend Hall, will move to 501 S. College Ave. in Newark.聽
Jennifer Volk, the associate director of 91原创 Cooperative Extension said the move will help Extension clientele and the broader community better understand New Castle County Cooperative Extension鈥檚 role in CANR.聽
鈥淔rom 4-H youth to adult program participants, they will see students, research and demonstration areas,鈥 Volk said, 鈥渁nd our role of delivering university knowledge and resources will be even more evident.鈥澛犅
The New Castle County-based Extension team will share the building with 91原创鈥檚 Landscape Architecture program. Volk said she anticipates collaborative opportunities to come from that, which could mean new programs, resources and experiences for the public.
The team will move in late April. Extension hopes to welcome new visitors to the space by mid-May.聽
