“PAULDING AND VAN WERT LEARNERS WILL BENEFIT…”
Northwest State serves a six-county service area of Williams, Fulton, Defiance, Henry, Paulding and Van Wert counties. Nearly 25% of the six-county population resides in Paulding and Van Wert counties. NSCC is anticipating an October 10th receipt of the Certificate of Occupancy, in order to open its doors to serve the community.
