Aderholt Announces $30,000 ARC Grant for Wallace State Community College

Washington, D.C. — Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today announced that the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) will award a $30,000 grant to Wallace State Community College to assist in the planning and design of the Appalachian Regional Center for Entrepreneurship and Renewable Energy Technologies. The new center will provide classrooms and training opportunities for members of the construction and energy industries and help open the door for business and skilled workers in Alabama to take advantage of jobs in the evolving renewable energy field.

“This is great news that Wallace State Community College will receive grant funding from ARC for the Appalachian Regional Center for Entrepreneurship and Renewable Energy Technologies,” said Aderholt. “Having a well trained workforce is essential for Alabama to meet our state’s energy initiatives and related private sector industry growth. This new center at Wallace State will be a tremendous addition to their campus and to our community.”

In addition to ARC funds, local sources will provide $20,000, bringing the total project funding to $50,000.

The Appalachian Regional Commission is a United States federal-state partnership that works with the people of the Appalachia region to create opportunities for self-sustaining economic development and improved quality of life. The Commission is a partnership of 420 counties and cities and the governors of 13 Appalachia region states and a presidential appointee representing the federal government.

Aderholt currently serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Homeland Security for the powerful House Appropriations Committee, is a member of the Committee’s Commerce, Justice and Science; and Agriculture Subcommittees, and also serves on the Helsinki Commission.
