PORT ANGELES — The doors to the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center will not open in November as previously planned.
Delays in construction and delivery of equipment and furniture have pushed the opening and dedication of the building located at Eighth and B streets in Port Angeles back to January.
“Although we would love to be able to open the center in November and have the dedication it makes much more sense not to rush the contractor and generate cost overruns,” Port Angeles School District Superintendent Gary Cohn said Tuesday.
Cohn said skills center officials are tentatively scheduling the dedication ceremony to take place on Jan. 10.
The skills center is a collaboration among the Port Angeles, Sequim, Crescent, Quillayute Valley and Cape Flattery school districts, Peninsula College and the Clallam County Economic Development Council.
