The GED Plus program allows non-high school graduates to enlist in the Army National Guard with the stipulation they earn their GED prior to attending Basic Combat Training.
Scheduled for completion in early 2010, the training complex will allow for up to 7,500 students to pass through the program each year.
The Army National Guard broke ground on an $18.4 million construction project here Sunday that will triple the capacity of those that attend its GED Plus program.
