The announcement follows a comprehensive assessment of the company's future needs and multiple site options in North Carolina and other states. The company intends to construct a more than 100,000-square-foot office building to connect with its existing laboratory facility on the north side of the 70-acre campus. Plans also include a complete renovation of the lab facilities. The new workspaces will support about 650 employees and 100 contract workers. Construction is expected to begin on the new building later in 2021; the entire project will take about three years to complete. Syngenta is assessing options for the south side of its campus. In early January 2020, Syngenta announced it had engaged in a comprehensive assessment of is current facilities. The campus, with 17 structures, was established in the mid- 1960s. n USDA Seeks Partner-Led Conservation Projects USDA is seeking proposals to fund up to $75 million in unique projects under the Regional Conservation Partnership Program's (RCPP) Alternative Funding Arrangements (AFA) that take innovative and non-traditional approaches to conservation solutions at the local, regional and landscape scales. USDA's Natural Resources Conservation (NRCS) will execute AFAs through agreements with eligible lead partners who will be responsible for contracting directly with eligible producers and landowners to implement conservation activities on the ground. AFA projects were initially authorized under the 2014 Farm Bill, while the 2018 Farm Bill enhanced the AFA provision and authorized NRCS to award up to 15 AFA projects annually. NRCS is accepting AFA project proposals through May 28. Proposals must be submitted through the RCPP portal at nrcs-sites.secure.force.com. Information about this request for proposals is available at www.grants.gov. Farmers, ranchers and private forest landowners can apply for RCPP projects through project partners, like conservation districts, producer associations, water districts, state or local governments, American Indian tribes, institutions of higher education and nongovernmental organizations.
