Community college in Florida builds new enterprise center
Thursday, October 24, 2002
Central Florida Community College (CFCC) has announced the construction of a new enterprise center on its campus. The center will bring together workforce development, economic development and education in a unique partnership.
We need to keep our eye on this project. The center could develop into a new national model for community colleges. The two-story, 25,400 square foot facility will be built and operated by the CFCC Foundation. It should be ready for occupancy in January 2004. Learn more. Go
