The new Bolley Agricultural Research Laboratory represents one of the largest capital construction projects in NDSU history. “It will allow NDSU to continue our remarkable legacy as a land grant institution, supporting agricultural education and research to benefit North Dakota, to benefit our region and to benefit our world,” said NDSU President David Cook. A long list of dignitaries spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony, including State Senator Terry Wanzek. Wanzek, who farms near Jamestown, spoke about the ROI of this project. “As legislators, we are often scrutinized or criticized for our spending habits, but I wish they would understand, like in this case, it’s not spending, it’s an investment.” Photos from the groundbreaking event can be found online.
