One million divided by 11?

State gives manufacturing centers $1 million, Caleb Hale reports: "Illinois Manufacturing Extension Centers across the state will receive another $1 million in state funding this fiscal year."

Eleven centers statewide provide specialists who help local manufacturers improve production. The man in charge of the Carbondale center, Ray Lenzi, SIUC's vice chancellor of the Office of Economic and Regional Development," says OERD has worked with 'scores of clients,' every year -- between 200 to 300 different manufacturers since 1996. With an annual budget of nearly $2 million, the center covers all of Southern Illinois.

The article doesn't say how much they got this time around.
