The San Diego Community College District’s Board of Trustees has unanimously agreed to place a $3.5-billion bond measure on the November ballot to fund critical construction and modernization projects that will ensure the region’s largest provider of workforce training and higher education continues to be a leader in driving the San Diego economy.
The Board of Trustees approved the move at its July 11 meeting.
“Each year, our colleges and district contribute $4.5 billion to the regional economy,” said SDCCD Chancellor Gregory Smith. “As the largest regional workforce training provider, City College, Mesa College, Miramar College, and the College of Continuing Education are essential to San Diego’s small and midsize businesses and to attracting new high-growth industries to our region. This fall, we will ask voters to join us in safeguarding the future health and vitality of our region by investing in an infrastructure bond.”
