The following list of proposed capital projects was first developed in the fall of 1999 in order to develop long range capital plans for the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) and the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. It has been used as a general data base for consultants developing a long range capital plan for the College with special emphasis on the Columbus campus. It will be further used throughout 2002 by an OARDC Capital Planning Committee to develop a 10 year capital plan for the OARDC Wooster Campus and Branches. The list is designed to be dynamic for periodic updating through the project update site (Username and password required, ignore domain if present). Particular comments related to this data base should be sent to OARDC Assistant Director, Dave Benfield (benfield.2@osu.edu).
