Large IVCC Expansion Moving Forward

Among the things being approved recently in Springfield is money for a new Community Technology Center for Illinois Valley Community College.

IVCC President Jerry Corcoran says the Capital Development Board will allocate 22.8 million dollars in construction bonds.  IVCC is responsible for about seven million dollars.

The new 74 thousand square foot center will house manufacturing and high-tech career classes along with offices for admissions, financial aid and counseling.  It would be built between Building F and the new parking lot.

Groundbreaking is expected this year.
