State Rep. Rob Matzie announced Friday that the Community College of Beaver County will receive $125,000 in state funding. The grant will support capital renovations at the college’s Monaca campus and cover lease expenses for its extension operations in Washington County.
The funding originates from the Pennsylvania Department of Education. It is part of a broader $25 million grant package distributed among 14 community colleges across Pennsylvania for capital projects and facility improvements.
A portion of the funding, totaling $50,000, is designated for capital improvements and building renovations to the radiology room at the college’s Monaca campus.
The remaining $75,000 will provide lease support for the Washington County College Center. The extension center is located at the Western Area Career & Technology Center in Canonsburg to support the college’s expanded regional operations.
“CCBC is consistently ranked as one of the top community colleges in Pennsylvania for its nationally regarded programs, support of service members and veterans and outstanding financial aid programs that help students of all financial backgrounds access a quality education,” Matzie said. “As a proud grad, I am thrilled to see new state investments that will allow them to continue delivering top-quality instructional programs here at home and across the region.”
