We were honored to welcome United States Senator Bernie Moreno to the Rio Grande McArthur Center today!

It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase our new facility and discuss the many ways this investment will expand opportunities for students, employers, and families throughout our community. We were proud to highlight our partnerships with OhioMeansJobs and Holzer Clinic, our increased capacity for education and workforce training, and our new community event space designed to serve organizations and residents across the region.

We especially appreciated Senator Moreno and his staff taking the time to discuss the unique opportunities and challenges facing Appalachian Ohio, and to share their perspective on strengthening our region through workforce development, healthcare access, education, and continued economic growth.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share what is happening here in McArthur and the exciting possibilities ahead for the communities we serve.

Rio is more than an Institution of Higher Learning, we are a household name in local communities making commitments to blaze a trail and changing tomorrows with our friends and neighbors!

Thank you, Senator Moreno and staff, for spending time with us today and for the thoughtful conversation about the future of our region!
