U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer and Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand today launched a full-court push to secure a critical federal investment for Utica College to build a new, state-of-the-art training center for its growing construction management major. As one of Utica’s College’s fastest growing degree programs, the Construction Management program is training the next generation of workers to meet a growing need in the construction industry both locally and nationally. However, since the program has outgrown its facilities, Utica College has crafted plans to build a new, technologically-advanced facility on its campus in Utica. While the college has raised $2.8 million in private and state funds, the total project is expected to cost $4.1 million. With the help of Schumer and Gillibrand, the college has applied to the federal Economic Development Administration (EDA) to fill the funding gap.
