The mission of the Buchanan County Agri-Business Expo Center is to create a multi-purpose set of venues focused on agriculture and education that will act as a catalyst for growth in the local and regional economies, helping to revitalize the local area and add to the prosperity of the broader region. It is anticipated that the Ag-Expo Center can become an integral part of the animal health corridor, with St. Joseph increasingly finding its niche in the animal health industry.
