EmailMessage from the District Director
I’m happy to share highlights from another successful year of partnership between Emmet County and MSU Extension. Thanks to your continued support, we’ve helped residents lead healthier lives, supported local businesses and farms, and created meaningful opportunities for youth development. Our programs—offered in-person, online and hybrid—make MSU Extension resources more accessible than ever. Our staff live and work in the community, building strong relationships and responding to local needs. Thank you for your ongoing support. We look forward to another impactful year and hope to see you at an upcoming program.
~ Adam Koivisto, District 14 Director
