College of Southern Idaho Set to Break Ground for New LeRoy Craig Center
Release Date: Monday 2024-06-17
TWIN FALLS – The College of Southern Idaho (CSI) will host a groundbreaking ceremony for the LeRoy Craig Jerome Center on Tuesday, June 18th, at 11:00 am. The ceremony will be held at the corner of Third Avenue West and North Lincoln Avenue, across the street from the Jerome County Courthouse and the Jerome School District Offices. The public is invited to attend and celebrate this event.
"We are pleased to be kicking off the construction process for the LeRoy Craig Jerome Center," said CSI President Dr. L. Dean Fisher. "This facility has been a long time coming and will greatly enhance our ability to serve the residents of Jerome County."
Named in honor of former CSI Board Member and longtime Jerome resident LeRoy Craig, the new 20,000 square foot educational facility is the result of a collaborative effort between CSI, the City of Jerome, the Jerome Urban Renewal Agency, and the United States Department of Agriculture, with the assistance of United States Congressman Mike Simpson.
Speakers at the event are scheduled to include Congressman Simpson, President Fisher, CSI Board Chair Anna Scholes, Jerome Mayor David Davis, Jerome City Administrator Mike Williams, and a representative from the Craig family, among others. The LeRoy Craig Jerome Center is slated to open sometime in 2026.
