Scottsbluff radio backs Scottsbluff for Panhandle technical college
KOLT Scottsbluff endorses placing a district community college in Scottsbluff under LB 759. It argues WNTC Sidney and NWC Scottsbluff fail to meet criteria and that Panhandle taxpayers should not fund a single site while the district favors Scotts Bluff County’s population and tax base. The piece, titled Why Sidney, says the target is choosing a location serving 11 Panhandle counties rather than disparaging Sidney.
