For local governments who have only needed to complete a financial audit and will now fall under Yellow Book standards, confer with your auditor to determine if changes need to be made.

From @NCTreasurer's Sharon Edmundson, these federal funds are subject to Yellow Book and/or federal single audit requirements. Each depends on total expenditures of funding.

Kara Millonzi at the @uncsog shares critical information on how to get funds, and how to budget funds.

NC is a top agriculture state, yet has a disproportionate # of food deserts. A team from #NCAT and NC Central is using data modeling research to figure it out, focusing on the piedmont region of Guilford Cty., Bladen Cty and the western mountain region of Rutherford Cty.
Congratulations to these amazing young professionals! I am super excited about the work this cohort will embark upon over the next 12 months to enrich our state. ♡
