HBCU institution North
Carolina A&T, one of the state's two land grant  institutions,
has programs throughthe doctoral level. Its
programs include engineering, arts and sciences,
agricultural and environmental sciences,
business and economics, education, nursing,
technology, and graduates studies. “
The expected roles of a land- grant institution,
is teaching agriculture and engineering, and
providing cooperative extension services”. NC
A&T's 2001 amend University Master Plan called
for developing 75 acres of land along East Lee
Street targeted to develop new opportunities for
both research and education in both the private
and academic arenas between the University's
technology and agricultural research and its
students, which didn't include across-town
historical white UNC Greensboro and its members

Negotiation
began in 2002 and September 2004 NC A&T
State University celebrated  the
sighing of Memorandum of Understanding
with the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) with the opening of the National
Resources Conservation Services Eastern
Regional Technology Center whose service
area consisted of 24 states and the
Caribbean area. The Greensboro Center was
also home to the remote  sensing
lab. The Memorandum of Understanding says
A&T has a working farm with modern
facilities and farm equipment. NRCS will
benefit from the use of this farm by being
able to provide hands-on training to NRCS
employees. NRCS can sponsor field studies
that can serve as  demonstrations
to both NRCS trainees and also local and
regional farmers. A
negotiated action under Solicitation 5NC0075
resulted in a non-competitive award to
locate the USDA Natural Resources
Conversation Service's East National
Technical Center and East Remote Sensing
Laboratory on the North Carolina A&T State
University Millennium Campus. |
