Investing in Lane for the Future
This fall, voters have the opportunity to renew their investment in Lane Community College.
The November 4 ballot will include a bond measure to fund renovations, upgrades and remodels for workforce training and education provided by Lane Community College.
The bond would raise $83 million for facilities improvements and preserve operating dollars for the instruction and services that our community needs.
The 15-year bond would continue the investment of approximately 25 cents per $1,000 of assessed value that property owners currently pay on the 1995 bond, which retires next year.
More than 35,000 people a year take classes or use services at Lane. They work hard to achieve their dreams. They need affordable, accessible education delivered in a 21st century setting.
Don’t miss your opportunity to vote on November 4. Be sure to read your ballot carefully and study Lane’s proposal. You can get more information online at 2011sitearchive.lanecc.edu/bond.
