WASHINGTON, DC - Senators Mark Pryor and Blanche Lincoln, along with Congressman Marion Berry (AR-01) today [Friday] announced that Arkansas State University has been awarded a $1.5 million grant to complete construction of a facility to house the ASU College of Business' Delta Center for Economic Development (Delta Center).
The members of the delegation said the Delta Center promotes community development, professional development, workforce training and small business assistance throughout the Arkansas Delta region. ASU's effort to house all of these services in a single building will enhance their services and maximize coordination with university assets.
Pryor, Lincoln and Berry added the $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) will fund Phase II of the construction for the building.
