The Ventura County Star reports that the $3 million Career Technology Facilities Project Grant will be combined with a 50/50 match of bond funds from a 2016 referendum to pay for the new facility.
The district is planning to begin work on the new building in the next year.
“It’ll breathe a breath of fresh air onto the campus and into the community,” Superintendent Adrian Palazuelos says.
The facility will have an auto shop with four to six garage bays, updated equipment, a classroom and an engine lab under the transportation pathway. Under the agriscience and agriculture mechanics pathway, there would be woodworking, mechanics, welding, agriscience and horticulture amenities in the building.
