Commissioners Attend Groundbreaking Ceremony at ACC

Alamance County Board of Commissioners attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Alamance Community College’s Advanced Applied Technology Center on the main campus located on Jimmie Kerr Rd, Graham, NC. In November 2012, a majority of votes were cast in favor of the $15,000,000 bond referendum. The County Commissioners voted unanimously to move forward with the financing of those bonds in September 2014. Today, the Alamance County Board of Commissioners participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of the new Advanced Applied Technology Center that will house programs such as: automotive technology; heating & air conditioning; computer-integrated machining; welding technology; and mechatronics. Chairman Eddie Boswell and Commissioner David I. Smith who was chairman in 2014 gave remarks. Vice Chair Bob Byrd, Commissioners Linda Massey and Roger Parker were in attendance.
