Buncombe County has picked CPL to design a $10 million training facility for workers who will make jet engine parts.
On July 13, 2021, the County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a $411,000 contract with CPL (Architects of Greensboro, NC) to design the Workforce Training Center for an 800-employee Pratt & Whitney plant being built in the Bent Creek area. The 7-0 vote was part of the consent agenda, a list of items deemed noncontroversial that are passed with a single vote at the start of the meeting.
