Council weighs expanded Laurel Ridge funding as college seeks program growth
Laurel Ridge representatives asked Luray council for support beyond a $9,000 placeholder to sustain campus programs and expand offerings such as a new CNA program.

The full story
Laurel Ridge Community College representatives described a request for additional locality support during a special Luray Town Council meeting.
