Cutting Ribbon On Aerospace Center

About 200 people helped Gov. Butch Otter, Lt. Gov. Brad Little, North Idaho College President Joe Dunlap and others cut the ribbon on the new NIC Aerospace Center of Excellence Thursday. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was the result of nearly $3 million in federal grant money that NIC received in 2012. NIC opened classes this fall – less than a year since the grant was awarded.
