An exciting future is on the horizon for OSU Extension, Franklin County. As a result of a recent $5 million gift provided to the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, OSU Extension, Franklin County will soon have a state-of-the-art office and call the Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory our home. If you missed The Ohio State University's announcement regarding this incredible opportunity, you can read the official press release here.
