WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Donald Norcross (D-NJ) delivered $850,000 in Community Project Funding to Camden County College. The funding will be used to renovate and expand a facility that will house a new electric and hybrid vehicle technician training program.  

With New Jersey projected to welcome over 2 million electric vehicles to our roadways by 2035, this funding will help ensure Camden County College has an adequate space to accommodate the expansion of the electric vehicle training program and meet OSHA safety requirements.    

“I’m honored to deliver $850,000 in community project funding to help renovate and expand Camden County College’s electric vehicle training facility,” said Congressman Donald Norcross. “Electric vehicles are the future, and South Jersey is ready to lead in preparing the next generation of career-ready EV technicians. Fixing cars today is not the same as it was when I was a kid, and we must ensure students are fully equipped to master the technology behind EVs. As a union electrician, I know that bolstering this program will open the door to strong, good-paying jobs, and will put more people on the path to a successful career.” 

“We appreciate Congressman Donald Norcross for his continued partnership with Camden County College,” said Dr. Lovell Pugh-Bassett, President of Camden County College. “This funding positions our college at the forefront of automotive innovation by expanding our facility and equipping students with cutting-edge skills to lead the future of electric vehicle technology.” 

“This funding is an investment in the future for our students, their careers and the future of clean, eco-friendly transportation,” said Commissioner Jeffrey Nash. “On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, we are grateful for Congressman Norcross’ advocacy and support that has ensured Camden County College will be on the forefront of automotive innovation in our region for years to come turning out the best mechanics with right skillsets for 21st century vehicles.”
