Within a matter of months, relocation of the Lanier Technical College campus in Oakwood to another site in Hall County became more than just an idea, with $10 million allocated in the state budget for design and land acquisition costs. “The earnest discussion started during the legislative session this year,” said Dr. Ray Perren, president of Lanier Tech. While the funding is akin to seed money for a startup business — millions more will be needed to construct and furnish new facilities at a new location — it also reflects a commitment from which there appears no turning back.
