This is a renewal bond, so there
is no additional cost to the taxpay-
er, but the return on investment is
significant.
For instance, in 2015-16 PCC
and its students added $1.9 billion
in income to the regional econo-
my. Research shows that for every
dollar invested in a PCC educa-
tion, the college returns $12.50
in added state revenue and social
savings.
PCC is more than a communi-
ty college. It is a vital component
of Oregon’s economic engine. It
serves as a critical catalyst for the
region’s educational, government,
business, industry, community
and philanthropic partners. Its di-
verse alumni are those who make
our community work: the small
business owners, technicians,
teachers, manufacturers, emergen-
cy service providers and nurses
who keep our economy strong and
thriving.
Furthermore, PCC’s bond pro-
gram benefits the community
through construction jobs, part-
nerships with local business own-
ers, and the ongoing betterment of
neighborhoods. Our Board of Di-
rectors has a 20 percent goal for mi-
nority, women, and emerging small
business participation, and we are
happy to say that through the bond
program we’ve met this goal! This
kind of collaboration is what makes
our community stronger.
The bond measure, if passed,
would undergird PCC’s ability
to educate Oregon’s future work-
force with up-to-date equipment
and technology, helping students
land recession-resistant, family
wage jobs with career advance-
ment potential. Given that by
2020, two thirds of all jobs will re-
quire some level of postsecondary
instruction or specialized training,
this is critical.
With your help and support,
PCC can continue to rebuild
pathways toward employment
and skills training for those in
Portland, as well as provide jobs.
These contribute to the foundation
of a thriving community.
So, come Nov. 7, we ask that
you vote “yes” on the PCC bond.
Our region’s long-term economic
health and vitality depends on it.
Kali Thorne Ladd is chair of
PCC’s Board of Directors and
represents Zone 2, which in-
cludes Multnomah and Columbia
Counties. If passed, PCC’s bond
measure is estimated to maintain
current tax rates for local home-
owners, with the total principal
amount of bonds authorized not
to exceed $185 million. This is
estimated to maintain the tax rate
of $0.40 per $1,000 of assessed
property value, for 16 years.
