WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A new industrial maintenance and automation program is coming to Salina Area Technical College. A news release from Salina Tech says the school has secured a $1.8 million grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce to fund roughly half the cost of a new 15,000 square foot building to house the program. The grant requires the college to raise an equal amount in matching funds, but does allow donations of equipment to count towards that number, according to Salina Tech President Greg Nichols.
