ACM TO BUY WESTERN MARYLAND WORKS TRAINING CENTER

The Allegany County Commissioners agreed to pursue transfer of the former Western Maryland Works Training Center and Makerspace on Lane Avenue in La Vale. The Cumberland Times-News states that since 2018, the College has operated the facility and has leased the property from the county. The commissioners plan to officially approve the $850,000 deal in the near future. The building is the site of the former Economy Grocers Warehouse, and was created to fill local manufacturing and technology jobs with trained employees.
