Manning Highlights Funding for Lorain Community College

COLUMBUS—State Representative Gayle Manning (R-Avon) is pleased to announce the Ohio Controlling Board approved the release of nearly $2.4 million in funding to support two critical efforts at Lorain Community College.

First, the College will receive $2,207,075.24 to make targeted upgrades throughout campus, including the replacement of the Spitzer Conference Center and University Center buildings' roofs, installed in 1994 (Spitzer) and 1998 (University Center).

“These updates will modernize the infrastructure of the Spitzer Center and University Center, which serve our students and are home to many events that spur economic activity, benefitting the local economy in Lorain County and the greater region,” said Manning. 

Second, the College will receive $180,756.18 to purchase necessary equipment for workforce training. Equipment will include A-dec Dental chairs and a pediatric Xray manikin for the dental hygiene program.

“This is a direct investment in our future workforce,” said Manning. “This equipment will ensure our dental students receive the best education and training before stepping into the workforce!”
