Lake Cumberland Regional College & Workforce Center Construction Progress

A Vision Fulfilled 

On Tuesday, August 28, 2018 ground was broken for construction of the Lake Cumberland Regional College & Workforce Center in Russell County. In attendance for the celebration were current and past Russell County school officials, students, local government representatives, area business and civic leaders as well as special guests State Senator Max Wise, and Derrick Ramsey, Secretary of the Education Workforce Development Cabinet.

The center is located on the grounds of Russell County High School and serves as a resource for the entire region. 

Community Supported

The Russell County Industrial Development Authority joined forces with the school district early in the project, participating in community meetings and committing financial support.

Branscum Construction is building the facility designed by Sherman Carter Barnhart Architects.
