Mt. Hood Community College has not passed a Bond Measure asking for additional money in 50 years. Improvements to its infrastructure are greatly needed due to not addressing reccurring maintenance issues over the years. If approved, the bond money will be used for repairing/replacing the many systems that are falling apart.
Mt. Hood CC offers technical training in many different fields along with 2-year degrees and undergraduate classes that can be transferred to universities and 4-year colleges. They also offer Advanced Placement classes for local high school students who can earn credits for their future college degree while they are still in high school. The educational options that Mt. Hood CC offers are much more affordable than the fees charged by other colleges and universities.
The property tax assessment that Mt. Hood Community College is requesting is based on the assessed value of your property, not the Real Market Value (RMV). The assessed value of your property is always less than the RMV and may be as much as 50% less than the market value.
Please join me in supporting the MHCC Bond measure to assure our community college can continue to offer outstanding training and education at a very reasonable cost.
