Investors Bank announced plans to provide a $60,000 grant to fund Mercer County Community College’s Trenton Hall Annex.
Rennovations to the building are complete and construction is set to start in the next few weeks. The annex will house a street-level art gallery open to the public, classrooms, and a multipurpose room, perfect for hosting small concerts. The college plans to complete construction in the fall of 2016.
The art gallery and multipurpose room are designed for the entire Trenton community to enjoy. On the floors above, there will be classrooms for fashion merchandising, technology and cyber security programs and laboratories for students who are studying to be nurse assistants.
MCCC applied for the grant from Roma Bank Community Foundation; Roma Bank became part of Investors Bank in early 2014. The foundation supports non-profit organizations that enrich diverse communities served by Investors Bank. The $60,000 grant will be given in three annual installments of $20,000.
The grant re-connected two organizations already linked many years ago by Maury Perilli a former member of the Board of Directors and Executive Vice President of Roma Bank, now part of Investors Bank. Perilli was also a member of the security division at MCCC.
