The Economic Development Administration awarded San Juan College $1.14 million under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program on September 8, 2022. The funding will support renovating and repurposing an existing city building in Farmington, New Mexico to establish the Harvest Food Hub and Kitchen. This project will provide commercial kitchen space, training, and technical assistance to food entrepreneurs and businesses in San Juan County. By supporting the development of the local food economy, the project aims to help diversify the regional economy and create jobs as the area works to overcome adverse economic impacts from the decline of the coal industry. The services delivered through this EDA grant are expected to advance economic resiliency in the region.
