Finger Lakes Community College will be receiving a $1 million grant to support a proposed integrated plant science education complex on its main campus.
Empire State Development has awarded the grant, which will help the college and Ontario County work on a plan to replace the college's 1979 greenhouse and combine it with classrooms and offices that could be shared with other community agencies.
The proposed project would be roughly 20,000 square feet and cost between $24 million and $26 million with site work beginning sometime in 2026, college officials said. The Ontario County Soil and Water Conservation District is among the agencies discussing a partnership in the project.
FLCC applied for the grant to support its degree and certificate programs in horticulture and environmental science.
