SALINA, N.Y. — The North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters (NASRCC) on Wednesday formally opened its $3.6 million training center expansion.
It’s located at 6920 Princeton Court, just off Buckley Road and Vickery Road in the town of Salina.
The union has spent the last year redeveloping its 6,000-square-foot facility into a space that now occupies 18,000 square feet. The expanded center was built in preparation for the development needs of the region, most notably the arrival of the Micron chip manufacturing hub, and the Interstate 81 viaduct-replacement project, NASRCC said.
The expanded facility will meet the needs of a rapidly growing regional construction industry that requires both traditional and modern skills and will include instruction on preparing carpenters for the specific work of building clean rooms that are required for chip manufacturing.
Salina–based C&S Companies built the addition.
