Work Progressing On New Jones County
Kirkwood Center
Posted 9 March 2009
 Work
is continuing to progress on Kirkwood's Jones Regional Education
Center. Located along Highway 151, the structure is up and crews are
finishing work on the central roof and mezzanine area (shown above).
The new center will provide a means for area high school juniors and
seniors to take advantage of college-level courses, Career Academy
programs, advanced high school curriculum and a wealth of other
educational possibilities.
The partnership between Kirkwood and eight area school districts will
have a significant impact on the entire region, creating more
educational opportunities, additional economic development and a better
workforce.
Besides the commitment of local school districts, other community
partners, including the Welter Family, the City of Monticello and Mount
Mercy College, are also contributing to the project. The partners have
not only collaborated intuitively, but have also shared available
resources and obtained some very generous donations.
The project, however, is still in need of additional financial help.
There are still opportunities for more community support. Contributions
to the new JREC will be recognized with a plaque on the center's Wall
of Honor, a memorial of deep appreciation noting encouragement of this
vital project.
For additional information on how to become involved or to make a
donation to the JREC project, contact Kristy Black, Director, at the
Kirkwood Monticello Center at 319-465-5988 or e-mail her at kblack@kirkwood.edu .
