Community college looking for permanent Mahoning Valley site

YOUNGSTOWN — Eastern Gateway Community College is a step closer to a permanent location in the Mahoning Valley.

The college’s trustees voted at a meeting today to authorize President Laura Meeks to execute an agreement with Higher Education Partners-Ohio to secure a location for the Valley Center to open this fall.

A site hasn’t been finalized although an announcement is expected within a few weeks.

The Valley Center first opened in 2009 at the former Forum Health Northside Medical Center on Gypsy Lane. Earlier this year, the facility moved to the fourth floor of Choffin Career and Technical Center on Wood Street.
