Federal Injunction Blocks the Closure of Prestonsburg Job Corp Center

The impending closure of the Job Corps center in Prestonsburg has gotten another
extension.

In May the US Department of DOL announced the closure of nearly 100 contractor-operated Job Corps sites around the country.

A judge at that time granted a temporary restraining order on closures.

This week a federal judge issued a nationwide injunction blocking the closures outright, saying the DOL violated the law by not getting Congressional approval to stop the federal program that Congress created in 1964.
