Crown Jewel Becomes Reality for new Public Safety Training Center at Luzerne County Community College, PA By Barbara Doepping Interact Business Group
In May, 2007 the Interact Business Group brought you the story of the eventful groundbreaking of the Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) Regional Public Safety Training Institute (PSTI). Now, less than one year later, this dream became reality on Friday, April 25, 2008, at the ribbon-cutting dedication of Phase One of the training institute. The facility is situated on 34-acres at the Nanticoke, PA campus. It will serve a 10-county region and is located at Luzerne, the largest college in Northeast Pennsylvania. A proud Scranton Firefighters Honor Guard, IAFF Local 60, and the Ceol Mor Pipe and Drum Band led the opening procession along with cheers from the hundreds in attendance as the Public Safety Training Institute was dedicated. The Fire Arch was compliments of the Nanticoke City Fire Department’s ladder trucks from Luzerne and Columbia counties, along with the Reliance Fire Company #1 from Berwick. Firefighters from neighboring states marched alongside.
The welcome was given by President Thomas P. Leary, president of LCCC. Other officials in attendance were Luzerne County Commissioner, Gregory A. Skrepenak (who is a member of the Board of Trustees of the College, and chair of the LCCC Foundation Capital Campaign); House Representative (D-Nanticoke), the Honorable John T. Yudichak (119th Legislative District); James Wills, president of the Luzerne County Fire & Rescue Training Association; Dr. Karen Flannery, dean of Public Safety Training and Special Initiatives; and James Ellis, LCCC Fire Science student and PSTI volunteer. The crowd swelled to include faculty, staff, administration, first responders from near and far, as well as regional residents. Also there to enjoy the dedication and to realize the dream was President and CEO Bill Booth, of the Interact Business Group. The Interact Business Group (IBG) was responsible for the business plan or blueprint for the project’s success. Interact’s Plan included the long-term needs assessment, facility plan, daily operations plan and funding strategies.
