New timeline for Oconee Tech campus

A contractor’s sign in front of the Oconee Industry and Technology Park is a sign that dirt moving and actual construction are about to get underway in a park that officials believe will fast reach full capacity.  Hogan Construction has the contract to build facilities for Baxter Enterprises, a Michigan automotive supplier, and Hi Tech Mold and Engineering.  And yesterday Dr. Ronnie Booth, president of Tri-County Technical College, gave a timetable for the college’s Oconee County campus in another section of the highway 11 park.  “It appears that the design work is going to be completed this summer, hopefully dirt work this fall,” Booth told the Oconee County Council.”  Tech’s campus is to stand alongside a new career center for the Oconee School District.
