Entergy Foundation
The Northeast Arkansas Innovative Training Center (NEAITC) received a generous assist Tuesday September 2nd, 2009 in its efforts to provide educational opportunities to local residents, as the city for NEAITC was presented a check for $10,000 from the Entergy Corporation.

The funds were made available through a grant offered by the Entergy Charitable Foundation. The grant was created to support initiatives which help create and sustain thriving communities, while focusing on low-income initiatives, as well as educational programs. Most of this grant will go toward completing the center's computer lab which has been a high interest to local residents.

David Burnette was an essential part of helping make this grant possible, the center plans to have a Wall of Appreciation when renovations are completed to show our appreciation to every foundation that has chosen to help the center become a reality.
 
ITC receives grant approval
The City of Rector has received notification of the approval of a major grant from the Arkansas Economic Development Commission for the continued development of the Innovative Training Center.

The grant totals $250,000 and will be used for the renovation and development of the Northeast Arkansas Innovative Training Center on Main Street in downtown Rector. The funding comes through federal Community Development Block Grant sources.

"This is an exciting development for our community," said mayor Ron Kemp, "and will be a great step forward for the progress of our training center. This is one of the largest grants we have received in recent years and we are appreciative of all those who have made it possible."

The project involves renovation of the existing building to house both training and wellness centers. No acquisition will be required as the city currently leases the property with the option to purchase at any time. Plans and specifications have been drawn and the project should be ready to accept bids within 120 days.
