(KLZA)-- The Southeast Community College Board of Governors Tuesday approved a purchase agreement with Armbruster Motor Company of Falls City on nearly eight acres of land adjacent to the Falls City Aquatic Center. The reported purchase price will be $75,000.
This will be the site of the Southeast Community College, Falls City Regional Learning Center.
The college has been looking for a location since August of 2015. Many sites and buildings around Falls City were researched. Falls City EDGE Executive Director Beckie Cromer said the Learning Center will allow the training needs of the entire region to be addressed.
EDGE plans to work with the college and their architects on a design build to meet the needs of the area workforce. An exact time frame for construction is not known. During the February SCC Board of Governors meeting, several construction projects will be prioritized.
The Falls City Learning Center is expected to be a 10-thousand square foot facility.
Cromer thanked the EDGE Tri State Labor Committee members for their work on the project. Members include Charlie Radatz, Ryan Larsen, Tim Heckenlively, Valerie Buckminster, Ruben Koopman, Katie Youngquist, Mayor Jerry Oliver, Doris Erickson and Cromer.
In addition, she thanked SCC President Dr. Paul Illich and the SCC Site Team, led by Bob Morgan.
Cromer offered special thanks to Armbruster Motor Company for their willingness to sell the land. The current addition to the Armbruster Motor Company at it’s present location made the site available.
Comer says without landowners that are willing to sell, these types of projects cannot move forward.
The Learning Center in Falls City will serve the training needs of the region by providing coursework in the areas of manufacturing, healthcare and education. Southeast Community College is also planning new learning centers in Nebraska City, Hebron, Plattsmouth, Wahoo and York.
