Area community
college to open Troy location this year
By Max Filby
TROY — A local community college is planning to open a new location in
a northern suburb of Dayton.
Edison State Community College in Piqua is planning to open a location
in Troy later this year, spokeswoman Andrea Francis told this news
organization.
The community college plans to start offering classes at a Troy
location this fall and one focus area for courses there will likely be
health services, Francis said.
Edison State officials are “still in the process of working on
agreements” for a facility to house classes but Francis said an
announcement would be forthcoming. College officials are working with
the chamber of commerce and other Troy groups and officials in
establishing the Troy location, Francis said.
“Edison State has been working with J.C. Wallace and the Troy Economic
Development Council to determine the best fit for courses and
programs,” Francis said. “The goal is to partner in providing high
demand workers for the region.”
Since plans for the Troy location were still in the early stages,
Francis said she was not able to provide much further information.
The creation of a second location for the college comes less than a
year after Edison State officials said the school was planning to build
a 5,200 square-foot student career center and entryway on the school’s
main campus in Piqua.
More than 3,000 students are enrolled at Edison State, which first
opened its doors in 1973.
Dayton-based Sinclair Community College is also planning on opening a
new location. Sinclair officials are hoping to complete a purchase of
Far Hills Church in Centerville in March. The church, which is already
equipped with some classrooms and office space, will become Sinclair’s
new learning center.
