Butler County Community College in early August will establish its first presence in the city of Butler by relocating its coordinator of community leadership initiatives from the main campus in Butler Township to a second-floor office at the Alliance for Nonprofit Resources, 127 S. Main St.

BC3's presence on Main Street is important, Nick Neupauer, BC3 president, said, “so that symbolically and visually, we could show that BC3 is behind the greater downtown city movement. We also think it is significant because as Butler County's community college, Butler is the county seat.”

BC3 will occupy the office without charge for up to six months, after which the Center for Community Resources, located at 212-214 S. Main St., and ANR may seek BC3 reciprocation by providing free training to their staffs while allowing the college to remain in the building rent free.

ANR will also provide administrative support to Tracy Hack, BC3's coordinator of community leadership initiatives; and time for its new community partnership manager, Sandra Curry, to collaborate with Hack in addressing downtown social and economic issues.
