Columbia Gorge Community College Bond, $13 million over 13 years / Measure 33-111
Columbia Gorge Community College is asking its voters to pass a $13-million bond that will cost 27 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value for properties falling within its district.
ssentially, this ask would be a continuation of the bond amount that has been in place since 2012 when voters approved the funding for both The Dalles and Hood River campuses.
This time around, College President Kenneth Lawson has requested the bond to refinance costs associated with the Skills Center and dormitory built several years ago. The money will also go toward campus maintenance and upgrades, according to his filing with the Wasco County Clerk.
If the bond passes, Lawson states the college could leverage up to $5.5 million in matching state funds to improve college facilities.
