As about 300 construction workers continued their jobs mostly without noticing him last week, Lanier Technical College President Ray Perren watched the progress on the school’s new campus and thought a little ahead to January 2019, when classes are set to begin there.
“It’s a dream come true,” Perren said Wednesday on the site off Ga. 365 and Howard Road. “Very few people get the opportunity to build an entirely new campus like this, so I view this as being a tremendous opportunity. This facility, when it’s done, will be a showcase for technical education in our state and really across the nation. Is it a challenge? Sure, but it’s also an absolute blessing to be able to be a part of this.”
