The SEED Academy Construction Progress

Construction Progress

The SEED ACADEMY will feature 19,147 square feet of space, including labs, classrooms, an auditorium, and a livestock area. It is being constructed by Branscum Construction on 11 acres of land donated by the RCIDA, located at the edge of the Lake Cumberland Regional Industrial Complex Site 1 — just one mile from Russell County High School.

Funding sources for the project include a $376,000 Rural Development Grant, a $1,478,973 USDA-RCAP Grant, and a $3,000,000 contribution from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Both the RCIDA Board and the Russell County Board of Education have also made financial contributions.
