MCTC should be repaired in time for fall

CANFIELD —  Restoration work is continuing at the Mahoning County Career and Technical Center, and it should be open for fall classes, said Superintendent Roan Craig.

Fire heavily damaged the main building at the center May 4. Students are finishing the year at the Gordon D. James Career Center in Lordstown. That building, which belongs to the Lordstown school district, was no longer being used.

Craig said Belfor restoration company, out of its Akron location, has been working at the center on Palmyra Road near Canfield.

The state fire marshal’s office is continuing to investigate the cause of the fire, which started in an art room lab after a bucket of solvent burst into flames.
