The Ste. Genevieve Board of Aldermen approved, with a 7-0-1 vote, a resolution indicating the city’s interest in leasing land along Progress Parkway to Mineral Area College for the construction of a MAC Tech Outreach facility that, according to the resolution, will provide vocational and technical training, as well as other class instruction as needed.
The vote allows MAC to seek a state grant to fund the project.
According to MAC, there is a need for this type of education within the MAC District along the I-55 corridor.
If the project moves forward, the city will enter into a 20-year lease for five to seven acres of land for $30,000 an acre.
