Construction crews could break ground as early as May on the planned new location of Lanier Technical College — an estimated 320,000-square-foot, six-building campus — according to Ray Perren, president of Lanier Technical College. During a meeting of South Hall business leaders and the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce Tuesday morning at Lanier Technical College, Perren discussed further details for a new campus slated to open in fall of 2018. Sitting on 85.5 acres off Ga. 365 at Howard Road, the new location will feature all the current programs offered at the 43-acre campus in Oakwood, as well several new courses like commercial truck driving, marine engine technology, occupational therapy and wireless engineering technology, according to Perren.
