He said WKCTC was picked for the donation among the more than 7,000 organizations considered by Scott. “For West Kentucky Community Technical College to be in that net, that is just indescribable,” Reece said. “We have transformative opportunities, and starting with this gift is the next chapter to take things up to the quintessential level.”
