Randolph Community College Continuing Education & Industrial Center Ribbon Cutting/Open House Draws Crowd

A standing-room-only crowd attended the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Open House of Randolph Community College’s new Continuing Education and Industrial Center on Friday, Jan. 4. North Carolina Community College System President Scott Ralls was among the dignitaries to speak at the ceremony.
           
RCC President Robert Shackleford welcomed the crowd of over 300 people, introducing a number of special guests, including N.C. Senator Rick Gunn, N.C. Representatives Pat Hurley and Allen McNeill, and a number of county, city and school leaders. “It’s hard to imagine how a 46,000-square-foot abandoned furniture warehouse became what you see today,” said Shackleford. “This empty building is now going to make such a profound impact on the economic and workforce development of Randolph County.”
