Ballantyne urges state aid for permanent campus plan
Selby Ballantyne, Kirkwood Community College superintendent, called for $3 to $4 million from the state to build welding and agriculture mechanics facilities and a main campus skills center in Rockford road, arguing storefront classrooms hinder growth and urging legislative tours of the Rockford site. The board noted cramped facilities, rising welders from 60–70 to 400, and a leased Rockford building costing $49,000 yearly, with a 72,000 square foot space plan pending for welding and related programs.
