Ag Bytes the pre-cast- and metal-framed walls. The commons area, offices, dividable meeting space, and commercial kitchen areas all were marked with signs noting naming rights — some of which are still available — and the space’s intended use. The building, particularly the kitchen and meeting space, have the potential to bring numerous workshops, ag skills sessions, and other events to Jackson County, according to committee member and Extension director Amber Matthiesen. Project co-chairman Dean Engel said construction should be completed by the end of the year. And with the end in sight, organizers said they need to raise a bit more money. The Together We Build Committee already raised more than $2.5 million in grants, donations, and creative fundraisers, co-chair Skott Gent said. That would have been more than enough for construction when planning started about a decade ago. However, high bids, the Sara Wyant, Capitol Hill journalist COVID pandemic, and supply shortages delayed the project and increased costs, he and Engel explained. Organizers said they need another $600,000 for construction and furnishings to avoid borrowing money and paying interest. Multiple fundraisers are planned to meet that goal. Businesses, groups, and individuals also can buy engraved tiles to be located and displayed inside the Together We Build facility. Multiple sizes are available. The public also can double donations now through the end of October. Fundraising head Will Cornelius explained that a few donors offered to match up to $250,000 of donations given by the end of October. So for all those waiting to donate until the building took physical shape, “well, it’s happening. It’s here,” Cornelius said.
