Butler County Community College is looking for a financial partner and the right location to open a small educational facility in Butler.

BC3 is looking to have a “very small presence” in the city, Nicholas Neupauer, BC3 president, said at Wednesday’s board of trustees meeting.

An underwriter will be needed to offset the cost of operating the facility and many landlords have approached BC3 about leasing property, Neupauer said.

He said three or four properties are under consideration.

“All signs seem to indicate it’s going quite well,” Neupauer said of the process.

A facility in the city has been discussed for years, said Joe Taylor, a BC3 trustee. Taylor said he is glad those discussions are finally leading to action.

The city needs the revenue a BC3 facility can generate, Neupauer said.
