Tony Evers and Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes made the announcement on Tuesday, June 21 at the Northwood Tech Rice Lake Campus.
“The HOMES project will help fund three workforce housing projects in Northwood Tech’s region and will provide new funding for cutting-edge mobile training equipment targeted towards advanced manufacturing competencies,” said John Will, President of Northwood Tech. “The multi-family housing will be equipped with community rooms that can also serve as classrooms, which will add potential training hubs for Northwood Tech’s growing portfolio of mobile education solutions. We’re excited to partner with Impact Seven to accomplish this innovative solution to two of the region's major workforce challenges – housing and expanded postsecondary opportunities.”
