An expanse of nearly 9,500 square feet of compacted sand is ready for concrete, superstructure and netting to serve as the home of the Center for Louisiana Citrus Innovation and Research at Docville Farm in Violet, Louisiana.
A partnership between the LSU AgCenter and the Arlene and Joseph Meraux Charitable Foundation, the research center will be home to a comprehensive program of strengthening the Louisiana citrus industry, said Chris Haines of the Meraux Foundation.
