State Sen. Rob Ortt presented a ceremonial check to Orleans/Niagara Board of Cooperative Educational Services Thursday in the amount of $50,000. Ortt secured the funding as part of the 2015-16 state budget. The Niagara Career and Technical Education Center will be using the state funds for new computers, state-of-the art equipment, and to upgrade the technology for the career and technical education programs and the Adult Education Workforce Training programs.
