Within the near future we all anticipate learning the status of individual legislators’ share of general improvement funds. Our top priority is funding the NWACC Shewmaker Global Business Development Center (GBDC), now under construction next to the Shewmaker Center for Workforce Technologies.
We are requesting $997,320 to complete this project, which once finished in fall 2010 will be a world-class facility where four new institutes of study aimed at meeting our region’s business needs and a University Partnership Center will be developed.
