The Somerset County School Board will be looking to build a new J.M Tawes Technology and Career Center.
The County Commissioners gave their okay to $1.8 million for the 2017 fiscal year towards its construction with a total commitment over the next four fiscal years of $7.3 million.
WBOC reports that the new center will be built on the current J.M. Tawes campus.
A county spokesman told the television station that it will add three new programs when it is finished.
These include pre-engineering, medium-heavy truck technician and horticulture.
The television station reports that Somerset County is eligible to receive 100 percent state funding for the capital project.
If the county and state officials approve the plan construction would begin as soon as next year.
