Mayor Johnson to speak at opening of Lancaster Career & Technical Innovation Center

A new advanced technical training center designed to create economic opportunities and expand education in an often-neglected area of Dallas County will open Oct. 20 with a celebration that will include Mayor Eric Johnson, local business officials, and E Smith Communities, chaired by Hall of Fame former Dallas Cowboy Emmitt Smith, whose partnership with Dallas College has made the center possible.

Mayor Johnson and Dallas College Executive Vice Chancellor Justin Lonon will join the former Cowboy's running back and others to formally open the 30,000 square foot center.
