WARSAW, Ind. (WNDU) - Indiana Gov. Mike Braun participated in a groundbreaking ceremony for a new $15 million carpenter training facility, while also addressing the ongoing congressional redistricting debate.

The Central Midwest Carpenters Union broke ground on a 30,000 square foot shop space with an additional 15,000 feet of classrooms. The facility will replace a building that has served as a training center for carpenters since the 1990s.

“When I met Jason (Clark) and saw what the carpenters were doing, this is perfect because right now parents and teachers and kids need to all be looking at alternatives in addition to just being into a college trajectory,” Braun said.
