County of Applicant:
Cherokee
Year:
2024
Description:

This award provides funding to support Tri-County Community College’s (TCCC) Transportation Training Hub initiative, which includes constructing a new driving pad on the college’s main campus. TCCC’s current pad is used by the Truck Driver Training (CDL) program and the Public Safety Program. Due to increased demand for access to the current pad, an additional larger driving pad is required. TCCC will use $3.1 million from state and federal funding for this new pad which will be dedicated solely to the CDL program and the recently launched Heavy Equipment Operator (HEO) program. TCCC expects to serve four times as many CDL students (an additional 126 students) and twice as many HEO students (an additional 35 students). Golden LEAF funds will be used for construction of the pad.
