Legislators, county council members, and local business leaders joined Tri-County Technical College officials May 29 in breaking ground on a 37.51-acre piece of property on Powdersville Road next to Victory Baptist Church in Easley that will become the site of the College’s third branch campus. The first building on the site will be the QuickJobs Training Center which will assist in workforce training for the college and for Pickens County. The other building will be a multipurpose classroom and technology center. It will also serve residents of the county by providing continuing education courses.
