Meeting planned
regarding BMCC bond
Residents o f Morrow
County are invited to a
meeting at Heppner City
Hall (111 N. Main St.) on
Thursday, July 18, from 3 to
5 p.m.. to learn about Blue
Mountain Community Col
lege’s bond levy on the No
vember ballot. The meeting
is sponsored by the Mor
row County subcommittee
o f the Friends o f BMCC
Bond Election Committee
to spread the word about the
bond, how much it will cost
and why it is needed.
If approved by voters,
the bond levy will replace
BM CC’s cu rren t bond,
which expires in June 2014,
at the same tax rate ($0.31
per $ 1,000). The new levy
will raise approximately
$28.1 million to support
construction for new work
force training programs in
Boardman, Hermiston and
Pendleton, as well as capital
improvements at college fa
cilities throughout Morrow
and Umatilla counties.
The new construction
projects are the Industrial
Processes Workforce De
velopm ent and STEAM
(science, technology, en
gineering, arts and math)
Center, to be located near
the SAGE Center in Board-
man; the Precision Irri
gated Agriculture Center in
Hermiston; and the Applied
Animal Science Educa
tion Center in Pendleton.
These new facilities will
enable BMCC to work
with local industry partners
and add approximately 30
new degree and certificate
programs that will train
students for family-wage
jobs in the region.
Capital improvements
to existing, aging college
facilities will increase en
ergy efficiency, reduce
m aintenance costs, and
bring buildings into compli
ance with current building,
safety and ADA standards.
For more information
about the July 18 meeting,
contact the Morrow County
subcommittee chair, Louis
Carlson, at 541-676-5302.
If you or someone you know has a gambling problem,
help is available and that help Is FREE of charge.
