November Ballot Issue Asks Community

For the first time in its 54-year history, Tri-C will have a dedicated Capital Bond Issue on the ballot. In June, the Cuyahoga Community College Board of Trustees voted to place a 0.5-mill bond issue on the Nov. 7 ballot for the repair, improvement, and construction of facilities vital to student completion and workforce education. The bond issue allows the College to address decades of wear and tear on buildings; keep pace with rapidly changing technology; and create new instructional spaces for growing programs and student success.
