Earlier this week, in the Paintsville High School gymnasium, Rocky Adkins, a senior advisor to Governor Beshear, announced the federal grant. Paintsville Independent Schools Superintendent David Gibson said the $1.5 million dollars will help pay for and renovate a new STEAM Career Center that should open by Christmas of 2024.
“We were able to purchase a facility that's a block from our school. So we're all right in one area, easily walkable, some high school campuses are actually bigger than what we have. But we were able to buy a an old bank building, which is a really good solid building on Main Street, 30,000 square feet.”
