Saturday, October 10 CTEC is grand reopening for fast growing campus
The College has announced that on Saturday, October 10 there will be a grand re-opening of YC’s technical education campus at the Prescott airport. It has spent millions of dollars in property tax money coming from throughout the Verde Valley and the remainder of the County for new upgrades and renovations.
According to the College, Technical education “is one of our fastest growing offerings, prepares students for well-paying careers and helps boost the local economy. Facility renovations include new classrooms, computer labs, faculty offices, instruction areas and environmental enhancements.”
The College will also celebrate the opening of the new Rural Center for Entrepreneurship incubator, which is housed at CTEC rather than the Verde Valley.
Unfortunately, only high school students from the West side of the County attend CTEC. It is also too far for many in the Verde Valley and too dangerous a drive at times over snow covered and sometimes fog shrouded Mingus Mountain.
