Annually, the 4-H Training Center attracts over 12,000 youth and adults to Ballston Spa.

This project has been on the table for over 8 years. “The Program Committee and I saw a need for increased classroom space. “We had outgrown the meeting space that we currently have, which is utilized by our 4-H clubs, as well as many other organizations from across the county”, said Greg Stevens, 4-H Program Leader. The program looked at options and landed on expansion via a totally new educational center. The CCE/Saratoga County Board of Directors gave their approval for the project, and the committee quickly got to work and began the design.
