Brown Foundation Donates $2M to BCTC | Lexington News

Bluegrass Community and Technical College just received a historic $2 million donation from the James A. and Martha R. Brown Charitable Foundation to build its first-of-its-kind regional workforce training center in Winchester — transforming an old Amazon facility into an 80,000-square-foot hub for healthcare, tech, manufacturing, and skilled trades. With advanced labs, ambulance simulators, and flexible classrooms, the center will more than double nursing capacity to tackle Kentucky’s critical shortage of 4,000 open RN roles. This major investment underscores the college’s role as a statewide leader serving 19,000 students and partnering with businesses to train 2,000+ workers annually — all aligned with the Brown Foundation’s mission to fuel economic growth and healthcare access in Kentucky.
