From PENTA CAREER CENTER
Penta Career Center in Perrysburg, Township will receive a $2,434,062 grant from the State of Ohio to assist the district in constructing an E-mobility lab space for new programs related to training for Electrical Charging stations, Advanced Driver Assist Systems, EV Auto Maintenance, and Energy & Power.
Penta’s project is one of 35 projects awarded to schools across the state. The announcement
was made on Nov. 3 by Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted.
“We are very happy that the State of Ohio is providing grant funds for career-technical schools, like Penta Career Center,” says Edward Ewers, superintendent of Penta Career Center. “We are expanding our programs and student access to high-quality career technical training, and these funds will greatly help us with the construction of a new E-mobility lab space to train technicians for future regional and state-wide, in-demand needs.”
In the coming weeks, Penta Career Center will provide more details about its plans for the E- mobility lab space. The district is currently working with Kleinfelder Architecture for master planning services and will soon be awarding a contract for Construction Manager at Risk (CMR).
The ultimate goal is to create flexible lab space that can grow as the future of E-mobility takes shape.
