FSEP Projects Map (see image below or download PDF)

Created from GIS, the map reflects the geographical range and diversity of issues that FSEP projects cover. Dots span the 5-county area and cover a range of different sectors, such as business support, farm-to-school, or market research. This map is meant to be continually updated to help members assess the growth and progress of FSEP.
