College: Could borrow money from its plant fund Cuba: Visit now ‘if you
Continued from Page A1
The college had hoped to
raise $14 million for the new
hall to pair with $8 million
in state lottery-backed bonds
and create a more advanced,
expanded maritime sciences
program. But a fundraising
consultant recently informed
the college board that it
could only realistically hope
to raise $4 million, leav-
ing the institution to scale
back the project or fi nd other
ways to fund it.
Christopher Breitmeyer,
the college president , has said
the college does not want to
scale back the project or pur-
sue another general obliga-
tion bond from voters in the
near future. County voters
in 2016 approved $8 million
in additional property taxes
to pair with state bonds and
build a new Patriot Hall.
The college board recently
looked at several funding
mechanisms to fund the proj-
ect, starting with a bond that
would have to be paid back
from the college’s resources.
But to borrow only $8 mil-
lion, the college would ulti-
mately pay roughly $4 mil-
lion in interest on a bond
maturing by 2040, said Lau-
ren MacMillan, senior vice
president of the asset manage-
ment fi rm Piper Jaffray. If the
college borrowed $14 million

sciences hall at its Marine and Environmental Research and
Training Station campus.
through 2050, it would face
nearly as much in interest.
Walt Postlewait, execu-
tive vice president of regional
nonprofi t lender Craft3, said
the college could also seek
help from the federal New
Market Tax Credit program
to fund around 20 percent of
the project. Craft3 used $10
million in the tax credits to
help pay for the construction
of Columbia Hall and the ren-
ovation of Towler Hall, he
said.
The tax credits, meant to
spur investment in lower-in-
come communities, are highly
competitive and require orga-
nizations to prove the com-
munity benefi t of their proj-
ects , Postlewait said.
“I would think this proj-
ect should be attractive to
organizations,” he said. “If
Craft3 gets an allocation
we’d be very interested in this
project.”
There is about 10 times the
need as there are tax credit
monies, Postlewait said.
“If there’s any fi nancing
vehicle that comes close to
being too good to be true, this
is it,” said David Oser, a col-
lege foundation board mem-
ber and former employee of
Craft3.
The college could also be
eligible for anywhere between
$100,000 and $3 million from
the U.S. Economic Develop-
ment Administration, Breit-
meyer said.
The college’s South
Tongue Point c ampus is
directly south of a recently
approved opportunity zone,
a federal designation that can
lead to an infusion of money
by investors hoping to lower
their capital gains tax burden.
The investor would pay for
the new maritime hall, own
the building and lease it to the
college, which would have
an option to buy at the end
at future market value, Breit-
meyer said.
The college was given
information about opportu-
nity zones by a representative
from Oregon Coast Devel-
opment LLC, an investment
group based in Bellevue,
Washington.
“According to this indi-
vidual, he feels like he has an
investor right now who would
be willing to — if we didn’t
do anything else — would do
the whole thing,” Breitmeyer
said. “He has even went so
far as to talk about the project,
and the person is interested.”
The college could also
look to use money from its
plant fund, which is meant
for capital construction, to
help lower the amount it has
to borrow, said JoAnn Zahn,
the college’s vice president of
fi nance and operations.
Board members asked col-
lege staff to come up with sce-
narios for funding, along with
options to break the South
Tongue Point campus expan-
sion into multiple phases.
The college will need to
decide by March or April
whether it still wants to pur-
sue a capital campaign to raise
part of the money, Breitmeyer
said. The college has until
2021 to raise up to $8 million
in local matching funds for
the state lottery bonds.
want to see the real Cuba’
Continued from Page A1
He has since returned
several times. This time, he
took Tippit and the others
on a “family tour” to visit
sites from his family’s for-
mer life there.
Travel to Cuba for tour-
ism technically remains
prohibited, so their offi -
cial reason for the visit was
humanitarian aid. They
brought suitcases full of
drugstore items like aspi-
rin and bandages , said Gil
Gramson, a former War-
renton mayor, who went on
the trip with his wife, Ann.
They were only on the
island for four days. For
Tippit and Gramson, it was
their fi rst time ever being
in Cuba. It was Suarez’s
fourth time being back, and
he has watched the country
change with each visit.
Multiple cruise ships
now weigh anchor at the
port. There is a fl urry of
tourist activity through-
out Old Havana. The once
dark airport decorated only
with posters of leaders
like Fidel Castro and Che
Guevara is now well-lit,
welcoming.
But one of the big-
ger shocks this time was
when the group visited his
aunt’s old house, now a
school, and a group of stu-
dents sang them a song in
English.
“That would never have
happened nine years ago,”
Suarez said. “I almost fell
apart.”
The languages taught
to Cuban school children
over the decades have
often refl ected the poli-
tics of the time period. For
Suarez, the song, and the
language it was sung in,
represented the new poten-
tial for openness in the
country. American travel-
ers should be prepared to
go without certain ameni-
ties, Suarez said, like c redit
cards and cellphones .
Still, his advice is to
visit now, before the tour-
ism boom takes full hold,
“if you want to see the real
Cuba.”
“The rum was deli-
cious,” Tippit said . She had
hoped to drink a daiquiri at
El Floridita, the historic
Havana restaurant and bar
the writer Ernest Heming-
way once patronized, but
ran out of time.
“The beer’s good,” she
added as an afterthought.
Suarez shrugged and
smiled at her. “The beer’s
OK.”
