October 2016 Group Watch: Central Alabama Community College Grants
Governor Robert Bentley recently announced the award of two Appalachian Regional Commission grants of nearly $1 million to Central Alabama Community College. The grants will allow the college to expand a classroom and purchase new equipment for students studying advanced manufacturing at its Alexander City campus. Governor Bentley said the community college system is extremely important in the workforce training program. The development of the advanced manufacturing course was funded by the state after firms started selecting east Alabama as a place to locate.
