Austin Community College (ACC) acquired the historic Ford building in downtown Lockhart to establish a permanent educational facility. Spanning approximately 20,000 square feet, the former auto dealership will be transformed to support both classroom instruction and hands-on training. This initiative aligns with ACC's commitment to expanding educational access and addressing the community's growing workforce needs. The development follows the November 2024 annexation of Lockhart Independent School District into the ACC District, granting residents in-district benefits and eliminating out-of-district tuition costs for ACC programs.
