Nashoba Valley Technical High School was one of 11 schools to receive grant funding this year through the Skills Capital Grant Program.
This year’s $3.3 million in total grants bring the total that the Gov. Charlie Baker administration has awarded to vocational-technical and agricultural schools and programs to $30.7 million since June 2017.
Nashoba Tech’s $250,000 grant will go toward equipment for the Plumbing & Heating program, including a pro-press, mega-press and threading machines, an inventory and tool-management system, furnaces, hot-water tanks, heat pumps and boilers.
