LAHARPE — Efforts to develop a vocational technical education center near LaHarpe are getting some local help.
Damaris Kunkler, program director at Thrive Allen County, told LaHarpe City Council members several in the county have indicated support for the tech ed center, prompting Thrive to voice its support as well.
As local school officials scramble to outfit the old Diebolt Lumber facility southeast of LaHarpe in time for classes this fall, Thrive is willing to help seek out grants, Kunkler said.
