Black Hills Corporation Foundation will give $105,000 to help fund Northwest Arkansas Community College’s planned Springdale campus, the foundation announced on Thursday at an event in the Shewmaker Center for Workforce Technologies at NWACC’s main campus in Bentonville.
Black Hills Corporation Foundation is the charitable arm of Black Hills Energy, a gas company headquartered in South Dakota, and has agreed to donate the money to the college’s $15 million funding campaign. The campaign, NWACC Director of Public Relations and Marketing Steven Hinds said, is still in its “private phase” at $1.6 million; it is projected to reach the public phase during the spring semester, with a tentative opening date of fall 2019.
