The money will be used for a Workforce Development and Training Center at the College with fully-equipped classroom, laboratory, and office spaces. The typhoon-resilient Center will be powered by solar panels and be used for teaching and research in food science, plant biotechnology, entomology, and anthropometry. EDA says the project will spur private investment and increase employment opportunities. This grant has been a long time coming. NMC applied on July 3, 2019, just one month after Congress made the disaster recovery funds available for Super Typhoon Yutu recovery. But it has taken the Trump administration 18 months to issue approval two years after Yutu struck. EDA still has six more disaster recovery grant applications from the Marianas it has not acted on, worth about $85 million. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
