‘Communiversity’ training facility

East Mississippi Community College and the Golden Triangle Development LINK economic development agency are expected to approach Clay, Lowndes and Oktibbeha counties’ officials in July about securing 20-year funding commitments for a new workforce training facility near the Golden Triangle Regional Airport they are calling "Communiversity." Lowndes County Board of Supervisors President Harry Sanders said with EMCC outgrowing its current workforce training facility, a new one is a must … and “absolutely a no-brainer." The state legislature has already agreed to an $8 million infusion this year for the project. (Source: Columbus Dispatch 06/23/14)
