IVCC officials break ground for Peter Miller Community Technology Center

With much of the funding in place, it was time to break ground for a new building at Illinois Valley Community College.  The Peter Miller Community Technology Center will be home to industrial and tech classes and the adult education center.

College officials and others gathered Thursday afternoon for a ceremony.  The Miller Group Charitable Trust has donated one million dollars toward the project.  Miller Group Media includes AM 1220 WLPO, 99.3 WAJK, 96.5 The Wolf, The Newstribune, Agrinews and Ottawa Delivered.

Most of the funding is coming from nearly 23 millions dollars in state money.  The George Sollitt Construction Company of Wood Dale is building it for 21 million dollars.  The building is expected to be ready by the end of August 2013.
