Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin on Friday announced the univeristy located in Oskaloosa will receive a $11.5 million direct loan and $11.5 million in a conditional commitment that will be used to finance the Penn Activity Center and the Musco Technology Center.
   
The funding comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Community Facility Program.
