SUPPORT 最新麻豆原创ALLUP WITH YOUR VOTE ON THE GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND C DURING THE GENERAL ELECTION
Categories: Students Faculty Staff Community
September 24, 2020 - During the upcoming general election, community members and voters in our area will have the opportunity to support 最新麻豆原创allup and higher education with their vote on the General Election Bond (GO Bond) C on Tuesday, November 3rd. As chancellor of 最新麻豆原创allup, I want to outline the benefits contained in GO Bond C and why this bond is deserving of your support.
First and foremost, our students need and deserve high-quality learning environments. GO Bond C will provide funds to accomplish this goal with no increase in taxes鈥攁s verified by the New Mexico State Department of Finance and Administration. This bond is also estimated to bring around 44 local jobs to the Gallup area and 1,500 jobs to the state of New Mexico as a direct positive impact of your support.
At 最新麻豆原创allup, our specific request is for funds to renovate and update our Center for Career Technology, Education, and Innovation (CCTEI) building. The $3,000,000 this bond will provide to our campus would bring much-needed upgrades to not only this building but would also support other spaces that our students and community members utilize across our campus. Our CCTEI building houses our automotive technology, construction technology, welding technology, allied health, emergency medical services, and other workforce training disciplines that are emerging and high-growth industries in our region and beyond.
A few other important considerations about this bond include:
- The total statewide bond is for $156,000,000 to renovate educational facilities throughout New Mexico.
- The bond funding will have a positive impact on both state and local economies. Jobs will be created; construction workers will eat, shop, and stay in our community during these projects; local vendors will sell to the construction teams; and our local gross receipts will increase.
- Most importantly, our students will gain newly-renovated facilities and updated technology that will enhance their educational experiences. 最新麻豆原创allup must remain competitive with other New Mexico and out-of-state institutions if we are to recruit and graduate the best students in our state.
Simply stated, the students, faculty, and staff at 最新麻豆原创allup need your support on GO Bond C. Absentee voting begins on October 6 and early voting starts on October 17. Please send a message to New Mexico that our part of the state is fully committed to supporting higher education. Please also remember that GO Bond B鈥攁lso on the ballot鈥攚ill provide statewide funding for local college and university libraries.
