The U.S.Department of Agriculture announced that the Athens' Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory will get $2.3 million of federal stimulus money to upgrade the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, and the rooms used to house animals, according to a news report.
The money will not be used for the expansion of the poultry lab or additional research as directed by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The Southeast Poultry Lab houses the country's major research program on bird flu. USDA will spend $176 million to upgrade more than three dozen of its research laboratories in 29 states across the country.
