The public is invited to the dedication ceremony for the Arthur R. Edington Education and Career Center, Saturday, November 1st, from 12 to 1 pm, 133 Livingston St., Asheville.
The Housing Authority is
finishing renovations to the historical W.C. Reid Center. They are renaming
the building after Mr. Edington, former principal of Livingston Street School
’60-‘69. The building will be a green jobs training and
education center. Partners envision the center as a place where people from the
surrounding neighborhoods can access education, job training, support
services and other resources to help them achieve
greater self-sufficiency and empowerment. As such, the renovation of the
building itself has provided ongoing opportunities to train and employ locals,
especially public housing residents.
