This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) under the Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities program (CFDA 11.300) provides $6,944,586 to support the construction of a new industrial training facility on the campus of East Mississippi Community College (EMCC) in Scooba, Mississippi. The facility will enable students and trainees to earn certificates and associate degrees in electrical technology, welding and fabrication, HVAC maintenance, and other technical fields to prepare them for manufacturing and industrial service sector jobs. Once completed, this project is expected to create sustainable economic benefits for the region by decreasing the unemployment rate and stabilizing the local economy.
