Toda Moves Focus To Possible New Advanced Technology Center

With the new Fort Dalles Readiness and Workforce Innovations Center open and operating, Columbia Gorge Community College President Frank Toda now turns to generating a match for $7,300,000 from the state to build an Advanced Technology Center on its Hood River campus.  Toda says the school is looking to develop a plan for the Center before asking potential partners for the match.  Toda notes they have a constant message on the need for more technology training in the Gorge.  Time is a factor, with the state funding calling for the project to get underway in 2015.
