Ground Breaking for Housing Authority of the City of Asheville/W.C. Reid Center Renovation
Date: Wednesday, August 8th 2012
Time: 3:00pm to 4:00pm
Description:
The Housing Authority is renovating the historical W.C. Reid Center and its future function will be a job training and education center. Partners envision the center as a place where people from the surrounding neighborhoods could access education, job training, support services and other resources that help them achieve greater self-sufficiency and empowerment. A core principal in our vision for the building would be engagement of the surrounding community. As such, the renovation of the building itself would provide ongoing opportunities to train and employ locals, especially public housing residents. Contact person: Samantha Bowers, Project Manager Refreshments will be provided.
