- A groundbreaking ceremony for a new aviation maintenance building was held last week, launching a $25 million expansion that will raise student capacity from 130 to more than 200.
- Pierpont President Michael Waide said companies such as Pratt & Whitney, Aurora Flight Sciences, KCI Aviation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries need the workers, while ninety percent of graduates from the program stay in the local community; the building is slated for completion in about two years after final approval by the West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education in August and praise from State Higher Education Chancellor Dr. Sarah Armstrong Tucker, with funding secured during the 2023 legislative session despite design and land‑acquisition delays.
