SAVANNAH — Top officials from Liberty County and Savannah Technical College announced the arrival of commercial truck driving instruction for Liberty County. STC will provide the CDL program in a soon-to-be-constructed classroom at the old airport site on space made available to the college by the Liberty County Commission.

“We are very grateful to the county commission for allowing us to offer this training at this location,” said STC President Kathy S. Love.

The county was instrumental over the past two decades in providing continuing support for the college through its local option sales tax and was an original partner in bringing the college to its current location on Airport Road.

STC will host an information session for the public interested in learning more about enrolling in the truck driving program at Liberty. The info session will be held on Monday at 4 p.m. in Room 140 at the Liberty Campus, 100 Technology Drive.

The rise is largely due to an $8 million spike in health and retirement benefit costs for employees. To help cover the shortfall, the district may raise the property tax millage rate, potentially increasing homeowners’ taxes by up to 12 percent.
