Meeting to explore agricultural center concept to be held today

A meeting to discuss a food enterprise center that could boost agriculture and food entrepreneurship on the North Olympic Peninsula is scheduled at 4 p.m. today at the Jamestown S”Klallam tribal center in Blyn.

Clallam County Economic Development Council officials have been considering the food center idea for some time.

It would include a commercial kitchen, training rooms and storage space and would be available to farmers, ranchers, caterers, bakers, chefs and others who can make good use of a professional kitchen/processing facility but don’t have businesses large enough to warrant building one on their own.

The tribal center is on U.S. Highway 101 just east of the 7 Cedars Casino. For more information about the meeting or the project, go to www.clallam.org or call 360-417-2280.
