The new BC3 building currently under construction in Armstrong County will have more state funding coming its way.
Senator Joe Pittman’s office announced that the state has awarded Butler County Community College $2 million toward their new two-story building in Ford City Borough.
The money is from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program—that same program awarded $1.75 million to BC3 in 2021.
“The new BC3 facility will address a critical need for dedicated classrooms, learning space, computer rooms and a science and chemistry laboratory,” Pittman said in a statement. “This state-of-the-art facility will not only benefit students, but it will be a major boost to downtown invigoration efforts, increase tax revenue and help to market Armstrong County.”
Ground was broken earlier this year for the new building, which is being constructed on the site of the former Ford City High School.
