Today at noon, the Camden County Board of Commissioners will join Congressman Donald Norcross (D-NJ) as he delivers $850,000 in Community Project Funding to Camden County College, Truman Hall, Room 101, 200 College Drive, Gloucester County, parking lot 11. The funding will be used to renovate and expand a facility that will house a new electric and hybrid vehicle technician training program.
“This funding is an investment in the future for our students, their careers, and the future of clean, eco-friendly transportation,” said Commissioner Jeffrey Nash. “On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, we are grateful for Congressman Norcross’ advocacy and support that has ensured Camden County College will be on the forefront of automotive innovation in our region for years to come turning out the best mechanics with right skillsets for 21st century vehicles.”
With New Jersey projected to welcome over $2 million electric vehicles to our roadways by 2035, this funding will help ensure Camden County College has an adequate space to accommodate the expansion of the electric vehicle training program and meet OSHA safety requirements.
