Shovel hits dirt to start work on Ag Center

There is a groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for this afternoon in Jackson County: the ceremonial start of work on a new Jackson County Agricultural Center is set for 12:30. The $4 million facility is slated for construction off County Farm Road in Jackson County. 

Jackson County officials say the Ag Center will be designed to host a variety of agricultural shows and other events. There is some talk of eventually holding the Jackson County fair at the new facility.
