NEOSHO, Mo. —
Crowder College officials will break ground at 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15, at the site of the McDonald County Center.
The newly purchased 7.8-acre site is located in Jane, just east of U.S. Highway 71 on Larry Neff Drive. Construction should begin early next year on the 25,000 square foot center.
Crowder is offering classes at McDonald County High School and Hometown Bank in Jane, and this fall a Nursing Program began in Pineville. All offerings will become available at the new location once it is complete.
