The state of Missouri will be holding a groundbreaking ceremony for a Multi-Agency State Laboratory in Jefferson City Thursday.

The ceremony will be held behind the Missouri State Public Health Laboratory from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Governor Mike Parson and his cabinet will all be in attendance and will provide details about the brand new lab and how it will better serve Missourians.
