Renewed funding

St. Joseph County’s Board of Commissioners has agreed to renew its funding to continue its partnership with MSU Extension for 2014.

During last week’s county commission meeting, commissioners agreed to allocate nearly $133,000 for the service.

The funding covers salaries and services provided by one full-time and three part-time employees.

In addition, the county will continue to provide telephone services and other basic utilities, including high-speed Internet.
