ONEONTA — State Sen. James Seward, R-Milford, and Otsego Now officials launched the Otsego Now Regional Workforce Training Center at 189 Main St. on Tuesday.
Seward announced the award of a $100,000 legislative grant to support the Center, an award that supplements a $47,500 grant from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Council initiative.
Between 40 and 50 local business representatives, elected leaders, workforce trainees and others attended the opening event, officials said.
Seward, Otsego Now staff and project partners spoke about the need for a trained workforce in Oneonta and the region and how the center will help prepare workers of various ages to learn skills.
