Fort Madison, Ia (The Hawk Eye)-  The Hawk Eye reports that Southeastern Community College is working to re-establish its physical presence in Fort Madison with the establishment of adult education and literacy center.

The Southeastern Community College Fort Madison Center will be located in what now is the Car Smart building, 612 Sixth St., near downtown Fort Madison.

The college previously owned a building in Fort Madison from which it offered adult education and literacy services, but it sold the building about three years ago to Harmony Church. Since then, the college has leased space in a church to offer the same services, but lack of signage made it difficult for SCC’s presence to be known.

The college is currently in the process of negotiating the purchase of the building. SCC officials are unsure exactly when the purchase will be made final, but they anticipate the remodel needed to make it ready for students will be completed by May. Adult education and literacy services will be available through the center shortly after work is complete. Other programming and services will be made available in the fall of 2020.
