The grant was awarded on Sept. 27. The EDA describes the grant as follows:
"This EDA investment funds the renovations and re-equip of an abandoned nursing home to transform into a work ready training facility in downtown Barbourville in Knox County, Kentucky, a designated Opportunity Zone. The project will provide trainings in manufacturing, health care, logistics, business technologies, and IT/agri-foods/hospitality industries. Once completed, this project will support workforce development opportunities in areas significantly impacted by the coal industry, and will attract private investments, create jobs, and spur economic growth throughout the region."
