Food Product Innovation and
Commercialization Building
Griffin Food PIC Building
• A dedicated Food Product Innovation and Commercialization building on the UGA
campus in Griffin, GA, Food PIC is a partnership between small-food-business
entrepreneurs, the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the
Griffin-Spalding County community.
• The Food PIC project at UGA will be the only one of its kind in the Southeast and was
created in response to the high failure rate (80%) of new food products.
• New business owners will be guided in product development, packaging, food safety,
consumer acceptance and marketing

CAES #2 – Wahsega 4-H Cabins
$720,000
Phase One - This project would construct bathrooms on 8 cottages and add central heat.
This would increase the use of the 4-H Center from 4 months to year round use. Also all
cabins would be remodeled to meet current life safety codes.
8 1930’s era rustic, well maintained cabins, @500 sf each:
• Add bathroom facilities
• Add private room for adult chaperones
• Add central heat
• Renovations will make cabins usable year round
(currently usable @4 months per year)
At a Glance
Georgia Mountain Research & Education Center
415 acres of orchards, test plots, pasture land, specimen
and preservation gardens, historic sites and forests.
Established in 1931, the center is used by UGA faculty to
conduct ongoing research and education projects.
Southwest Georgia Research & Education Center
512 acre center established in 1951.
• Current research at the center focuses on every major
crop in South Georgia, with special focus on peanuts.
• Animal scientists conduct breeding and forage studies.
• Original purpose: to stimulate the depressed rural
economy by helping area farmers diversify and
increase crop yields.
Southeast Georgia Research & Education Center
719 acre center established in 1952.
• The facility’s efforts are focused on row crop research.
• The center is the only UGA research location where
UGA scientists study cylindrocladium black rot, a
fungal disease first found in 1965 on peanuts in
southwest Georgia. Today, CBR plagues alfalfa, clover
and soybean as well.
J. Phil Campbell Research & Education Center
1070 acre former USDA facility, transferred to UGA in 2012.
• Mission: To develop and transfer environmentally
sustainable and profitable agricultural systems to land
owners and managers to protect the natural resource
base, build accord with non-agricultural sectors, and
support healthy rural economies.
• Also suited for teaching, extension, and demonstration
activities, such as the Beginning Farmers and Ranchers
Training Program.
Challenges
• Combined effects of the following:
• Cuts
• Unfunded mandates
• Inflation
• Underfunding in Maintenance & Operations/Agents
• Lead to these:
 Heavy dependence on bond/special funding
 Reduced operational flexibility
 Economy of force efforts
