Thanks to the visionary work of the Utica City School District’s administration, staff, and dedicated sponsors, students now have the chance to engage in hands‑on learning with the best equipment and instruction available. Programs covering in‑demand trades like nursing, automotive tech, carpentry, and more are launching in this new space — and we couldn’t be more excited to see what comes next.

Our Role: Supporting the Next Generation

At Nimey Auto Group, we strongly believe in educating and engaging with our next generation of leaders. As part of the Board supporting the new auto‑tech pathway at Proctor, we’re proud to help build interest, share information, and — soon — provide actual vehicles for students to work on. This building isn’t just about classrooms; it’s about building the skilled workforce of tomorrow, right here in Central New York.

A Big Thank You

We want to thank the many community partners, school leaders, and elected officials who joined the celebration — including Utica Mayor Mike Galime and State Representative Marianne Buttenschon, whose presence underscored the importance of this initiative. To the students — enjoy, explore, and take full advantage of this opportunity. To our community — thanks for letting us be part of something that will shape futures.
