Maysville unveils Workforce Training Center in restored historic rail building

In a celebration of both history and progress, the Town of Maysville cut the ribbon on a newly restored workforce training center Wednesday, housed in a 100-year-old former rail warehouse now transformed into a hub of economic opportunity.

The building, once used to store and move goods along the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, has been refurbished thanks to a partnership between the town, Lenoir Community College, and the Golden LEAF Foundation. The $750,000 project will offer training in high-demand trades such as water treatment, electricity, plumbing, and eventually health sciences.
