U.S. House Approves Funding for Advanced Auto Tech & Electric Vehicle Training at LCC
On December 11 the U.S. House of Representatives approved a Consolidated Appropriations bill, HR 3288, which includes federal funding for projects requested by Congressman Mark Schauer (D-MI). The legislation includes $420,000 for Lansing Community College's West Campus in Delta Township. The funding will allow LCC to expand all aspects of technician training for hybrid/electric/alternative fuel vehicles, including vehicle repair and maintenance, operation, safety, and electric vehicle components. Additionally, the funding will allow LCC to establish partnerships with key automotive manufacturers and dealerships launching electric hybrid vehicles to create a pipeline for electric vehicle technician training in the region. This is the final House action needed before this funding is signed into law.
