91制片厂

With students and their success at the forefront, the 91制片厂 (91制片厂) Board of Trustees on Monday, January 23, unanimously approved calling for a $250 million May bond election to address enrollment and program growth, aging facilities, safety and security, and infrastructure improvements with plans for four new buildings.

The bond election, which was called following a recommendation from community members, calls for the construction of a Corporate & Continuing Education Center, Public Services Center, three-story classroom building and Library/Classroom Building which will house new programs in hospitality management and aerospace/aviation.

The bond proposal also calls for additions and renovations to the Welding Building, College Services (PSC), Industrial Education Building as well as infrastructure upgrades and campus improvements. Aside from the new construction and renovations, the bond program will see the demolition of the Learning Resource Center (LRC) building, racquetball court, firing range and college services building.

鈥淲hile our community is rapidly growing and evolving, our facilities and programming should also be ready to adapt to this change,鈥� said Dr. Bill McGarvey, chairman of the board of trustees. 鈥淲e are confident that this move will continue to propel the work we鈥檙e doing to move our students and communities forward in educational excellence.鈥�

91制片厂 trustees approved calling for the bond election in a 7-0 vote following a presentation earlier this month by community members Ivan Langford and Chris Delesandri.

Through the 2018 bond program, 91制片厂 has successfully completed the initial phases of the 91制片厂PASS 2025 Facilities Master Plan on time and on budget. The 2023 bond proposal will allow the College to pursue the completion of the plan by directly addressing the region鈥檚 immense growth, and ensuing education and workforce training needs. 

鈥�91制片厂 is committed to propelling our community forward through our common goal of creating a better future for tomorrow鈥檚 learners,鈥� said Dr. Warren Nichols, president of 91制片厂. 鈥淭his bond proposal will ensure that we have the capacity and infrastructure to support next generation learning environments for the growing needs of our students and community.鈥�

Community members from within the college鈥檚 taxing district of Dickinson, Hitchcock, La Marque, Santa Fe and Texas City met throughout the fall 2022 semester to review the College鈥檚 long-range master plan for academics, program offerings and construction. The buildings proposed in the bond package respond directly to identified needs outlined in 91制片厂PASS 2025.

The bond package itself evolved in response to the communities鈥� education needs, and prioritizes innovative learning options to effectively prepare the workforce of the future. The College and its students are an economic engine for the booming region which has seen an expansion in maritime operations and hospitality as well as aerospace/aviation, health care and logistics.

The 2023 Bond is expected to cost $32.72 per year, or 63 cents per week, on a home valued at $100,000, less exemptions.
