MITCHELL, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) A ribbon cutting ceremony was held for the new Ag Power Diesel lab building at Mitchell Technical College yesterday. The new building, located in the northeast corner of the Nordby Trades Center, brings all of MTC’s instruction to the Spruce Street campus. Lieutenant Governor Larry Rhoden was one of the speakers at the event. He says the state had an interest in this project.
Rhoden says the governor’s office fully supported it.
He talks about the importance of this kind of program to the state.
Other speakers at yesterday’s event included MTC President Mark Wilson, South Dakota Board of Technical Education Executive Director Nick Wendell, South Dakota State Engineer Stacy Watters, and Mitchell Technical College Division Leader Devon Russell.
In addition to its direct impact on the Diesel Power program, the expansion will enhance five other programs – Agricultural Business, Agronomy, Animal Science, Precision Agriculture and Power Sports Technology – providing much-needed space to complete their own lab exercises.
