Renewing and Improving Training and Learning Facilities
About the Bond
Voters in the Lane Community College district approved a 15-year, $83 million bond request in November 2008 to fund renovations, upgrades and remodels for workforce training and education.
The bond continues the one passed in 1995 and does not increase that tax rate of approximately 25 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value.
“We will now be able to make the necessary updates and repairs to our facilities so we can continue to train the workforce for tomorrow’s jobs and meet our community’s needs for trained professionals in health care and other essential occupations,” said Lane President Mary Spilde.
Renewal plans for main campus in Eugene and the Florence center include renovations to heating and cooling systems, plumbing, roofing, and classroom and lab upgrades.
Lane's mission is to provide affordable, quality, lifelong education. About 36,000 students enroll each year for career and technical training, college transfer, workforce training, skill upgrading, business training, basic education, and lifelong learning.
Lane Community College serves Lane County and parts of Benton, Linn and Douglas Counties in Oregon.
