Tech campus announcement anticipated

Of Tri-County Technical College’s service territory, Oconee is the only county without a full-fledged satellite campus. That has been a sore point with the County Council who believes a home campus will better serve the workforce needs of employers. After County Councilman Reg Dexter raised the subject, State Representative Bill Sandifer predicted that a campus will soon be announced. Sandifer said all three members of the delegation support one and have been working with Tech President Ronnie Booth and Richard Blackwell of the Oconee Economic Alliance to help bring it about.
