ANGOLA â Five Haas CNC Machining simulators have found a new home with Freedom Academy thanks to the Steuben County Economic Development Corp. and The Enterprise Center.
âWith the Enterprise Center being sold, they are trying to move out the equipment,â said Anita Shepherd, director of operations and client services for Freedom Academy. âThey asked if we wanted anything and we said we could use the simulators.â
Freedom Academy also received a check for $3,460 from the SCEDC and the Enterprise Center that Shepherd said will be used for things like scholarships for students attending classes at Freedom Academy.
The funds are from a Haas grant the SCEDC received for CNC training. The board decided to split the remaining funds equally between three entities, including Freedom Academy. Ivy Tech and South Adams High School also received funds.

ANGOLA â Thereâs no questioning that COVID-19 has been tough on everyone, but for some college students making the switch to virtual learning has created additional hardships of its own.
Due to the pandemic-related closures or limited hours of many public libraries, cafes and community centers, some students without a reliable high-speed internet connection at home have found it difficult to complete their online classwork.
Other students, especially working or professional ones, might have internet access but may miss having a quiet, distraction-free space to study.
In Steuben County, however, two entities are trying to fix that.
Ivy Tech Community College has partnered with the Steuben County Economic Development Corporation to procure a space where Ivy Techâs students can complete their online classes.
