| Overview
|
| Yakima Valley Community College (YVCC) intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to build a library in partnership with the City of Grandview. The library will be located on the Grandview Campus and near the downtown area in a centralized location. As a public facility it will serve all members of the community with specific resources for low- and moderate-income individuals. The library will contain facilities and resources that will support economic development activities within the community including a multipurpose room that can be used for training and workshops, networked computers, access to print and electronic media, professionally trained staff, and broad service hours during the day and evening. The college will also offer a yearly series of seminars to the public within the library once it is completed. YVCC will partner with local chambers of commerce as well as the University of Washington Michael G. Foster School of Business and Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Yakima Valley to offer the seminars in both English and Spanish. Topics will include business development topics and first-time homebuying. Furthermore, the seminars will disseminate information on Energy Star products.
