Yesterday, Spring Valley’s Village Trustee Demeza Delhomme proudly showed three Ramapo Town Council members around the soon-to-be-finished space for the Ramapo Skills Training Center, a town-funded venture.
The interior of the skills training center, housed inside the Ramapo Cultural Arts Center (the former adult movie theater) on Main Street in Spring Valley, was constructed with the help of vocational skills trainees from the village.
Construction started in August. Workers are now painting walls and putting the final touches on the facility (see the “before” photo by Staff Photographer Vincent DiSalvio, along with an “after” snapshot by me).
The work has been overseen by Delhomme, and the town’s Parks and Recreation head, Michelle Antosca, has been the liaison to the project. She was on hand yesterday for the tour.
Councilmembers Edward Friedman, David Stein and Yitzchock Ullman walked through the three rooms in the training center, and asked Delhomme what the target date was for finishing the project and how many people were expected to enroll for free skills training.
“We have too many (students) ready to come here. I didn’t know they were that interested,” Delhomme said, adding that the center would be completed by September.
The training program will be open to people who are at least 17-years-old.
“Demeza has done a very good job … it’s really going to be a functional set of rooms,” Friedman said of the space.
Delhomme is one of several candidates for the post of Spring Valley mayor.
