Tennessee College of Applied Technology in ShelbyvilleYou may remember we reported that Coffee County and the Tennessee College of Applied Technology Center in Shelbyville wanted to open a location in Manchester.
The county was turned down for a state grant in the amount of $350,000 to open the site.
Director Ivan Jones of the school in Shelbyville said he will continue to search for chances to establish a technology school in Coffee County because there is a need.
This year, there were 32 applicants for the grants and only 12 of them were awarded.
