Clark State Community College wants site in Greene County

The resolution gives the college the green light to actively pursue a campus and potentially state funds.

By Kelly Baker

The Clark State Community College board of trustees adopted a lastminute resolution on Tuesday showing its intent to create a physical presence in Greene County.

 

Greene County was assigned to Clark State by Ohio in the early days of community colleges, said board chairwoman Faye Flack. The college currently serves the county but not from a permanent campus. Tuesday’s resolution gives the college the green light to actively pursue a campus and potentially state capital funds.

By Kelly Baker

Staff Writer

 

Some local lawmakers say they will not support a movement to change Clark State Community College’s service district but a Greene county representative said he would consider it.

 

Rep. Ross McGregor R-Springfield said he was “vehemently opposed” to reversing the decades-old state decision to make Greene County part of Clark State’s service district and said the movement to bring Sinclair Community College into Greene County is “clandestine at best.”
