ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø to Host Public Forums on Levy Proposition
ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø is organizing a series of public forums to offer residents the opportunity to stay informed and ask questions about Proposition ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø. These forums will delve into the details of the tax levy transfer and its benefits for both the community and the College.
The plan includes six in-person public forums in communities within the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Taxing District. Additionally, there will be a Facebook Live forum on April 1 from 6-7 p.m. on the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Facebook page, featuring ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø President Dr. Jon Bauer.
ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø is seeking voters’ approval for a levy transfer on the April 2 ballot that would result in no increase in the College’s property tax levy.
The forums are scheduled at the following locations:
- New Haven Library — Monday, March 25, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
- St. Clair Regional Library — Monday, March 25, 5:30-6:30 p.m. (Meeting Room B)
- ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Union Campus — Tuesday, March 26; 5:30-6:30 p.m. (Conference Room B)
- Bourbon Community Center — Wednesday, March 27, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
- Washington Public Library — Wednesday, March 27, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
- Sullivan Regional Library — Thursday, March 28; 5:30-6:30 p.m.
The levy transfer is expected to generate $2.2 million annually for:
- Enhanced safety and security measures on the Union Campus.
- Necessary upgrades to modernize aging buildings, including the replacement of older HVAC units and repairs to campus parking lots and roads.
- Renovations to campus spaces for the Early College Academy, STEM/Engineering lab, and a Veterans Lounge.
- Assistance with rising health care, insurance, and salary costs.
- Maintenance of affordable tuition and fees.
