The Southeast Community College Board of Governors last week approved the purchase of some eight acres of land north of the Falls City Aquatic Center for the future site of its Regional Learning Center.
SCC bought the land from Armbruster Motor Co. for a reported $75,000. The college plans to build a 10,000 square foot facility.
“Falls City EDGE worked diligently with SCC for more than a year to get to this exciting announcement and after much due diligence in evaluating multiple sites and buildings we have found a great site suitable to meet the training needs of our region,” EDGE Director Beckie Cromer noted, in a statement released last Wednesday.
