The Community College of Vermont had a grand opening ceremony yesterday to celebrate their new site in Winooski. We’ve been watching the building go up over the last year and it’s turned out to be a really beautiful building (see images below). The Cascades sales team attended the ribbon cutting ceremony and took a tour of the facility. The architect and faculty involved in design did an outstanding job incorporating function and style. Jim Douglas was present, along with many other state official involved with the project.

With all the hype around CCV coming into the Winooski Falls neighborhood the local media took some time to catch up with our team.
